(ordered byseniority)^[1][2]

Georgia was admitted to theUnion on January 2, 1788. The state has had senators since the1st Congress. Its Senate seats were declared vacant in March 1861 owing to its secession from theUnion. They were again filled from February 1871.

United States senators are popularly elected to six-year terms that begin on January 3 of the year after their election. Elections are held the first Tuesday after November 1. Before 1914, Georgia's senators were chosen by theGeorgia General Assembly, and before 1935, their terms began March 4. Popular Senate elections remained despite the General Assembly not taking action to ratify theSeventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution that was passed in 1913.

Rebecca Latimer Felton was the first female U.S. senator, representing Georgia in the Senate for one day in 1922,^[3] having been appointed to the seat to replaceThomas E. Watson after his death in September 1922.

Richard Russell Jr. was the state's longest serving senator, served from 1933 to 1971.

Since January 20, 2021, Georgia has been represented in the Senate byDemocratsJon Ossoff andRaphael Warnock. Ossoff defeatedRepublicanDavid Perdue in theregularly-scheduled 2020 election, while Warnock defeated appointed Republican incumbentKelly Loeffler in theconcurrent special election, both of which were decided inrunoffs on January 5, 2021. Ossoff is the first Jewish senator from Georgia and Warnock the first black senator from Georgia.^[4] Although both Ossoff and Warnock were sworn into office on the same date, Ossoff is officially Georgia'ssenior senator because his last name comes first alphabetically and he was elected to a full six-year term first.^[1][2]

Georgia is one of fourteen states alongsideCalifornia,Colorado,Hawaii,Idaho,Louisiana,Maine,Massachusetts,Minnesota,Missouri,Nevada,Pennsylvania,South Dakota andUtah to have a younger senior senator and an older junior senator.
