From Ballotpedia

Alaska is the largest state in the U.S. by area and the only U.S. state that borders two foreign countries and two oceans: Russia, Canada, the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. It is among the least populated states in the U.S. and most of its 730,000+ residents populate the city of Anchorage and not its capital, Juneau. In addition, Alaska is dominated by the fishing, oil and natural gas industries.

Alaska has two members of the U.S. Senate, one member of the U.S. House of Representatives, 20 members of the State Senate and 40 members of the House of Representatives.
