state senator
Regional legislative official
A state senator is an elected member of a state's senate—the upper chamber of a bicameral state legislature.
State senators represent districts within their state and vote on state laws, budgets, and appointments.
The title distinguishes them from U.S. senators, who serve in the federal Congress: She served two terms as a state senator before running for governor.
