The Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico is the only member of the United States House of Representatives who is elected every four years instead of a two-year term. The Resident Commissioner and Gubernatorial candidates run together as a ticket, like a Governor/Lieutenant Governor ticket would run in the other states, but there are still separate general elections for each position.
