As each house seat represents a different state, slightly different election laws apply. However, there are general criterion for House seat members, the constitution is always a good read:

The constitution states: "No person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state in which he shall be chosen." As for any other specifics about a person's own state, contacting the local legislators or election officials to find out is my best advice : )!

Years of citizenship required for a us senator?

There are 3 qualifications to become an United States Senator. They are greater than the qualifications to become a House of Representative, but less than the qualifications to become President. These are all recorded very specifically in our Constitution. They are: 1. Be at the least, 35 years of age. 2. Must have been an US citizen at least 9 years. 3. Reside (live) in the state in which you are elected from. A House of Representative serves a term of 2 years, the President for a term of 4 years, and a Senator for a term of 6 years.
