Pennsylvania House of Representatives

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives is the lower house of the bicameral Pennsylvania General Assembly, the legislature of the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. There are 203 members, elected for two-year terms from single member districts.[1][2]

It is the largest full-time state legislature in the country. The New Hampshire House of Representatives is larger but only serves part-time.
