Senate Jewish Projection

Updated: January, 2016

The level of Jewish representation in the 2016 Senate is expected to be quite stable. Out of the nine Jewish Senators currently in office, one (Barbara Boxer) is retiring, four are not up for re-election in November, and the remaining four seem to be safe. At this stage there are only two serious new potential candidates in competative races: Wisconsin's Russ Feingold, who has declared his candidacy, and California's Jane Harman, who still hasn't.

Here is a list of the current representatives, followed by a table:
