Information on the U.S. Senate

• The Senate consists of 100 Senators – two from each State.
• Members of the Senate are called “Senator”.
• Both Senators from a state represent the entire State, so everyone is represented by two Senators.
• Senators are elected by the citizens of their state to serve six-year terms.
• Senators terms are staggered so that one-third of the Senate is up for reelection every November in even-numbered years.
• If you do not know who your Senators are, you can find this information by going to the Senate website.
• Once you identify your Senators, visit their websites to learn about each of them and copy down their contact information (address and phone number of their Washington, D.C. office; address(es) and phone number(s) of their local office(s); and email address).
