The1928 United States Senate elections were elections that coincided with thepresidential election ofRepublicanHerbert Hoover. The 32 seats ofClass 1 were contested in regular elections, and special elections were held to fill vacancies. The strong economy helped the Republicans to gain seven seats from theDemocrats.
Senate Majority leader, RepublicanCharles Curtis of Kansas, was not up for election this cycle, but he waselected U.S. Vice President. He resigned March 3, 1929, so his seat was vacant at the beginning of the next Congress until April 1, 1929, when a Republican was appointed to continue the term.
Two Republicans and one Democrat retired instead of seeking re-election.

| Missouri | James A. Reed | Roscoe C. Patterson |
| New Mexico (special) | Bronson M. Cutting | Octaviano Larrazolo |

On March 31, 1928, GovernorFred W. Green appointed 44-year-old RepublicanArthur H. Vandenberg to fill the vacancy, pending a special election. Green considered resigning so he could be appointed to the vacancy. He also considered several other candidates, including former governorsAlbert Sleeper andChase Osborn. In addition, Green considered RepresentativeJoseph W. Fordney, who would have been a placeholder until the election for the remainder of Ferris' term.
