state senators
Regional legislative officials
State senators are elected members of a state legislature's upper chamber, as distinguished from representatives in the lower house.
Most U.S. states have bicameral legislatures modeled on Congress, with senators typically serving longer terms and representing larger districts than their counterparts in the state house: The state senators voted to override the governor's veto.
