Representative seats are contested every two years. The Presidency is contested every four years. Senate seats are contested every six years, staggered out every two years (so 33 senators, then 33 two years later, then the last 34, then repeat)

How Often are congressman and senators elected?

Assuming nothing unusual happens (someone dying or leaving office), Representatives are elected every two years for a term of two years, so that's simple enough.With Senators it's a little more complicated. There's a Senate election every two years, but Senators are elected for sixyear terms. They're staggered, so that each state votes in two of the three elections that take place in a six-year span. A given state might therefore vote for senate seat 1 in 2012, not vote for a senator at all in 2014, and then vote for senate seat 2 in 2016; the cycle would start over again in 2018.
