The 2022 United States Senate elections will be held on November 8, 2022, with 34 of the 100 seats in the Senate being contested in regular elections, the winners of which will serve six-year terms in the United States Congress from January 3, 2023, to January 3, 2029. Senators are divided into three groups, or classes, whose terms are staggered so that a different class is elected every two years. Class III senators were last elected in 2016, and will be up for election again in 2022.

All 34 Class 3 Senate seats are up for election in 2022; Class III currently consists of 14 Democrats and 20 Republicans. Two special elections will also be held in California to fill the final weeks of Kamala Harris's term[1] and Oklahoma to serve the four remaining years of Jim Inhofe's term.

Five Republican senators, Richard Shelby (AL), Roy Blunt (MO), Richard Burr (NC), Rob Portman (OH), Pat Toomey (PA) and one Democratic senator, Patrick Leahy (VT) have announced that they are not seeking re-election in addition to Inhofe; 15 Republicans and 13 Democrats are running for re-election.

Numerous other federal, state, and local elections, including the 2022 House elections, will also be held on this date. The winners of this election will serve beginning in the 118th United States Congress. Democrats have held a majority in the Senate since January 20, 2021, following the party's twin victories in the runoffs for Georgia's regularly-scheduled and special 2020 Senate elections, and the inauguration of Democrat Kamala Harris as Vice President. There are 48 Democratic Senators and 2 independent Senators who caucus with them; with Harris's tie-breaking vote, the Democrats hold an effective 51-seat majority in the chamber.

In contrast to 2018, where Democrats were defending 10 seats in states that Donald Trump won in 2016, Democrats hold no seats in any state that was won by Trump in 2020. Meanwhile, the GOP is defending two seats (Wisconsin and Pennsylvania) in states President Joe Biden won in 2020, compared to just one seat (Nevada won by Hillary Clinton in 2016) that was up for grabs in 2018.

Change in composition[edit]

Each block represents one of the one hundred seats in the U.S. Senate. "D#" is a Democratic senator, "I#" is an Independent senator, and "R#" is a Republican senator. They are arranged so the parties are separated and a majority is clear by crossing the middle.

Predictions[edit]

Several sites and individuals publish predictions of competitive seats. These predictions look at factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent is running for re-election) and the other candidates and the state's partisan lean (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assign ratings to each seat, indicating the predicted advantage that a party had in winning that seat. Most election predictors use:

  • "tossup" / "battleground": no advantage
  • "tilt" (used by some predictors): minimal, smallest advantage
  • "lean": slight advantage
  • "likely": significant, but surmountable, advantage
  • "safe" or "solid": near-certain chance of victory

Alabama[edit]

See also: List of United States senators from Alabama and 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Alabama

Six-term Republican Richard Shelby was re-elected in 2016 with 64% of the vote. On February 8, 2021, Shelby announced that he would not seek re-election to a seventh term.[147]

Republican candidates to succeed Shelby include Katie Britt, his former Chief of Staff,[148] six-term representative Mo Brooks, businesswoman Karla DuPriest, former Army pilot and author Michael Durant, and author Jake Schafer.[149]

Democratic candidates in the race include pastor and perennial candidate Will Boyd,[150] former Brighton mayor Brandaun Dean,[151] as well as Lanny Jackson.[152][153]

Alaska[edit]

Main article: 2022 United States Senate election in Alaska
See also: List of United States senators from Alaska

Three-term Republican Lisa Murkowski was re-elected in 2016 with 44.4% of the vote. Former governor and vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is considering a primary challenge to Murkowski,[154] as are others. Alaska adopted a top-four jungle primary system in 2020, with the ultimate winner being decided via ranked-choice voting. Characterizations of the state as a "Safe" or "Solid" Republican stronghold may change if Murkowski decides to change her party affiliation to Independent as she suggested after the Capitol Attack. If she does so, she would most likely continue to caucus with Republicans in the Senate.[155] On March 30, former Alaska Department of Administration Commissioner Kelly Tshibaka announced that she was running against Murkowski following the state's GOP decision to censure her, with Tshibaka later receiving former President Donald Trump’s endorsement.[156] Orthopedic surgeon, commercial fisherman, and 2020 senate nominee Al Gross has expressed interest in running.[157]

Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy has announced that he will not run, opting to run for re-election.[158]

Arizona[edit]

Main article: 2022 United States Senate election in Arizona
See also: List of United States senators from Arizona and 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Arizona

Incumbent Democrat Mark Kelly took office on December 2, 2020, after winning a special election with 51.2% of the vote.

Six-term senator and 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain was re-elected to this seat in 2016. However, he died on August 25, 2018, and former U.S. Senator Jon Kyl was appointed to replace him. Kyl resigned at the end of 2018 and was succeeded by outgoing U.S. Representative Martha McSally, who lost the 2020 special election to complete the term.

Term-limited Republican governor Doug Ducey, has announced that he will not challenge Kelly in 2022.[159] Republicans Blake Masters, the chairman of the Thiel foundation, Jim Lamon, chair of the solar power company Depcom,[27] and Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich have announced their candidacies against Kelly.[160] Other potential Republican candidates include US Representative Andy Biggs[161] and Arizona State Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward.[162]

Arkansas[edit]

Main article: 2022 United States Senate election in Arkansas
See also: List of United States senators from Arkansas and 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Arkansas

Two-term Republican John Boozman was re-elected in 2016 with 59.8% of the vote. Boozman has announced that he is running for a third term.[163]

Former NFL player and U.S. Army veteran Jake Bequette, Jan Morgan, an Arkansas gun range owner and 2018 gubernatorial candidate, and Heath Loftis, a pastor from Stuttgart are all challenging Boozman in the Republican primary.[164][165][166]

A fourth challenger, corporate analyst Michael Deel has withdrawn from the race citing a lack of viability.[167]

Dan Whitfield, who attempted to run as an independent for Arkansas' other U.S. Senate seat in 2020 but failed to meet the ballot access requirements,[168] is running as a Democrat, along with Natalie James, a real estate broker from Little Rock.[169] Former Pine Bluff city alderman Jack Foster is also running for the Democratic nomination.[170]

California[edit]

Main article: 2022 United States Senate elections in California
See also: List of United States senators from California and 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in California

Incumbent Democrat Alex Padilla took office on January 20, 2021. He was appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom following the resignation of incumbent Democrat Kamala Harris on January 18, 2021 in advance of her swearing-in as Vice President of the United States.[171]

Due to a rule change, there will be two ballot items for the same seat: a general election, to elect a Class 3 Senator to a full term beginning with the 118th United States Congress, sworn in on January 3, 2023, and a special election, to fill that seat for the final weeks of the 117th Congress. Padilla is running to fill the seat for the remainder of the current term, and for election to a full term.[1]

Colorado[edit]

Main article: 2022 United States Senate election in Colorado
See also: List of United States senators from Colorado and 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Colorado

Two-term Democrat Michael Bennet took office on January 21, 2009, after being appointed by then governor Bill Ritter to replace outgoing Democrat Ken Salazar, who was nominated by President Barack Obama to serve as United States Secretary of the Interior. He narrowly won an election to a full term in 2010, and to a second term in 2016, with 49.97% of the vote. Peter Yu, Republican nominee for CO-02 in 2018, has formed an exploratory committee.[172]

In August 2021, Eli Bremer, Olympic athlete, U.S. Air Force major, and former chair of the El Paso Republican Party, announced his candidacy.[37] He was endorsed by Republican former senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell.[173]

Connecticut[edit]

Main article: 2022 United States Senate election in Connecticut
See also: List of United States senators from Connecticut and 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Connecticut

Two-term Democrat Richard Blumenthal was re-elected in 2016 with 63.2% of the vote. Former state House Minority Leader Themis Klarides is running.[174]

Florida[edit]

Main article: 2022 United States Senate election in Florida
See also: List of United States senators from Florida and 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida
