List of United States senators in the 98th Congress

Add article description

This is a complete list of members of the United States Senate during the 98th United States Congress listed by seniority, from January 3, 1983, to January 3, 1985.

Order of service is based on the commencement of the senator's first term. Behind this is former service as a senator (only giving the senator seniority within his or her new incoming class), service as vice president, a House member, a cabinet secretary, or a governor of a state. The final factor is the population of the senator's state.[1][2][3][4]

In this congress, Robert Byrd (D-West Virginia) was the most senior junior senator and Gordon J. Humphrey (R-New Hampshire) was the most junior senior senator at the start of the congress until Henry M. Jackson (D-Washington) died on September 1, 1983, after which Slade Gorton (R-Washington) became the junior senior senator.

Senators who were sworn in during the middle of the two-year congressional term (up until the last senator who was not sworn in early after winning the November 1984 election) are listed at the end of the list with no number.
