Currently for the state of Pennsylvania there are 18 representatives in the House of Representatives. There are nine democrats and nine republicans.

Explanation:

The House of Representatives is the lower house of the Congress of the United States of America. The Senate is the upper house. The officials sitting in the house of representatives are divided among the 50 states in function of their population. Pennsylvania is one of the states that has been losing congressional seats in the house vis-a-vis other states because the total number of representatives is fixed by law at 435. In 1973, Pennsylvania had 27 seats and now it has 18. The largest delegation is that for California that had 53 representatives in 2010. There are seven states that have only one representative in the House of Representatives and they are: Alaska, Wyoming, Delaware, Montana, Vermont, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
