Yes, each U.S. Senator is elected by the voting public of their entire state, and each U.S. Representative is elected by the voting public of the congressional district that he/she would be elected to represent. The public has been electing U.S. Representatives since ratification of the original Constitution in 1788, but they have been electing U.S. Senators only since the ratification of the 17th Amendment in 1913. From 1788 until 1912, the state legislatures elected their Senators. Some states, however, started allowing their voters to elect their Senators before the 17th Amendment was ratified.
