United States Senate

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}} Each state elects two senators by statewide popular vote every six years.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The terms of the two senators are staggered so that they are not elected in the same year, meaning that each seat also has a class determining the years in which the seat will be up for election. Alaska's senators are elected in classes 2 and 3.

There have been eight senators from Alaska, of whom 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 accorded senatorial privileges, since Alaska was not yet a state.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Alaska's current senators, both Republicans, are Dan Sullivan, in office since 2015, and Lisa Murkowski, in office since 2002.
