Since becoming a State in 1959, Alaska has been entitled to one member in the United States House of Representatives, elected in the State’s sole, at-large congressional district. Based on area, Alaska's congressional district is the largest congressional district in the United States, and is one of the largest electoral districts in the world.

Since March 6, 1973, Republican Don Young has been the member for the district.

The district was created when Alaska achieved statehood on January 3, 1959, to elect Alaska’s single member. Since then, Alaska has had a single congressional district.

Election results from presidential races:

Declared dead December 29, 1972

This district is normally considered safely Republican because no Democrat has been elected since 1972 and because incumbent Don Young has rarely faced a serious challenge since 1992 when he beat Mayor John Devens (D-Valdez) by 4%. Although allegations of corruption against Young led Democrats to target this seat in 2008, Young retained his seat.
