List of United States senators from Hawaii

Current delegation

Brian Schatz (D)

Mazie Hirono (D)

(ordered by seniority)

Hawaii was admitted to the Union on August 21, 1959, and elects U.S. senators to classes 1 and 3. Seven people including only one Republican have served as a U.S. senator from Hawaii. The state's current U.S. senators are Democrats Brian Schatz and Mazie Hirono. Hawaii's class 1 seat is the only one in the United States that has always been held by an ethnic minority.^{[citation needed]} Its class 3 seat is the only one in the United States that has always been held by a member of the Democratic Party.^{[citation needed]}

Hawaii last elected a Republican in 1970, which has resulted in the longest streak in the nation for a state's having all-Democratic senators. Daniel K. Inouye was Hawaii's longest-serving senator, from 1963 to 2012. Hawaii is the only U.S. state that has never defeated an incumbent senator in either a primary or general election.^{[citation needed]}
