Democratic-Held (4) Republican-Held (4) For the next 230 years, the Ocean State had two (and briefly in the Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) NC Open (Burr, R) 1910s and 20s, three) seats in the House. Hassan (D-N.H.) PA Open (Toomey, R) But according to estimates from the political analysis firm Election Kelly (D-Ariz.) Johnson (R-Wisc.) Data Services, Rhode Island is one of 10 states that is likely to lose a Warnock (D-Ga.) Rubio (R-Fl.) congressional seat in the reapportionment process following the 2020 decennial census. That means that for the first time since the 1790s, the Solid Democratic (10) Solid Republican (16) state will be represented in the House by just one person. Bennet (D-Colo.)
