List of United States senators from Nevada

Nevada was admitted to the Union on October 31, 1864 and has been represented in the United States Senate by 28 people. Its current U.S. senators are Democrats Catherine Cortez Masto (class 3, serving since 2017) and Jacky Rosen (class 1, serving since 2019), making it one of only four states alongside Minnesota, New Hampshire and Washington to have two female U.S. senators. Nevada has been represented by 14 Republicans and 14 Democrats. Harry Reid was Nevada's longest-serving senator (1987–2017). Nevada is one of fifteen states alongside California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Utah to have a younger senior senator and an older junior senator.
