senate race

Chamber election campaign

A senate race is an election for a seat in a legislative senate, most often the United States Senate.

These races occur every two years for roughly a third of the hundred Senate seats, each representing an entire state.

Senate races typically draw more attention and spending than House races: The Georgia senate race broke fundraising records.

The term applies to state-level senate elections as well.
