Notes
[edit]- ^ Senator Fall resigned on March 4, 1921, to become the Secretary of the Interior in the Warren G. Harding administration.[5]
- ^ Senator Jones died on December 20, 1927, while in office.[6]
- ^ Senator Chávez died on November 18, 1962, while in office.[7]
- ^ a b c New Mexico law prior to 1960 dictated that if a seat was vacated, the term would expire naturally without a special election. The law was changed due to the close proximity of Antonio M. Fernández and John J. Dempsey's deaths on November 7, 1956 and March 11, 1958 (respectively), leaving New Mexico with only one U.S. Representative for an extended time.
