## United States Senate

Each state elects two senators by voting in each state every six years. The terms of the two senators are delayed so that they are not elected in the same year, so each seat also has a class making the years in which the seat will be voted for. Alaska's senators are elected in classes 2 and 3.

There have been eight senators from Alaska, four have been Democrats and four have been Republicans. William Egan and Ernest Gruening were elected to the Senate on October 6, 1956 for the 84th Congress but did not take the oath of office and were not given the senator's powers, since Alaska was not yet a state. Alaska's current senators, both Republicans, are Dan Sullivan, in office since 2015, and Lisa Murkowski, in office since 2002.
