The late Senator from Hawaii served with 218 Democrats, 189 Republicans, and five independents and those from third parties; more Minnesotans served with Inouye than Senators from any other state (14)

danielinouye10.jpgThe passing of 88-year old Hawaii Democratic U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye on Monday afternoon marks the end of a legislative career that ranks as the second longest in the history of the nation’s upper legislative chamber.

From the day he took his seat on January 3, 1963 until his death, Inouye served with just three other Senators from the Aloha State including the retiring Daniel Akaka, with whom he represented Hawaii over the last 22 years, 7 months, and 2 days.

But in a Senate career that predated the Civil Rights Act, Inouye served alongside a total of 412 men and women in the U.S. Senate over the last 49 years, 11 months, and 15 days.

Among those were 218 Democrats, 189 Republicans, three independents, one Conservative, and one from the Independence Party.

Included among these 412 Senators were 14 from Minnesota, 13 each from Illinois and Tennessee, 12 from Colorado, Florida, and North Carolina, 11 from California, Georgia, New Hampshire, and Virginia, and 10 each from Missouri, New York, and Ohio.

In the wake of Inouye’s death and the end of Akaka’s term in a few weeks, Hawaii’s Senate delegation will go from that with the longest current cumulative service in the chamber to the shortest.

    Minor detail but Jim DeMint of South Carolina should be Republican not Democrat.
