The Senate is comprised of twenty-four members who are elected every two years. Sessions are held every year from early January to the end of June.
Senators also receive mileage reimbursement.
In New Hampshire, all twenty-four Senate Districts are based on population. The districts are re-drawn every ten years, with the next redistricting to occur in the year 2001. Jr. Klemm is from Windham and represents District 22, which includes the towns of Windham, Pelham, Atkinson and Salem. He is currently serving his second term in the State Senate, after serving five 2-year terms in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. Since New Hampshire does not have a Lt. Governor, the Senate President serves as Acting Governor whenever the Governor is out of the state, or otherwise unable to perform the duties of the office.
