How many Representatives does Alaska have in the U.S. House of Representatives?

Alaska has one Representative in the U.S. House of Representatives because it is classified as a non-contiguous state with a smaller population relative to other states. The number of House Representatives is determined by each state's population as established in the decennial census, and given Alaska's population size, it is allocated one seat. This allocation reflects the principle of proportional representation, where states with larger populations have more representatives, while states with smaller populations, like Alaska, do not reach the threshold necessary for additional representation.
