Changing to alphabetical list[edit]

I recently updated the List of United States Representatives from Oregon page to use the alphabetical format suggested by WikiProject U.S. Congress. This format has been used by several other states. However, no state (that I could find) has yet adopted an alphabetical format for U.S. Senators, as proposed by the WikiProject.

I propose to do so for Oregon's list of Senators. The current page has one table for each Senatorial class, is chronological, has no color, lists only years of service, and is essentially identical to the list on the United States Congressional Delegations from Oregon page. The updated page would combine classes into a single table, be alphabetical, and would include complete dates of service and notes when required.

The proposed new table format is below. I would have a TOC bar and separate tables for each letter, like the Representatives page. I'd appreciate any feedback before I get too far. Thanks!

Where the heck is Bob Packwood?[edit]

Hi, I am not great at Wiki editing. So I'm adding this note here. I notice that Packwood is named in a section on living former senators, but he and his photo are not in the main grid. The disgraced former senator was a huge influence on Oregon politics for thirty years. Maybe someone can get him in the grid? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Polly Frisch (talk • contribs) 16:52, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He's already there, number 16 in the class 3 column. Emk9 (talk)

Using Massachusetts as a Model[edit]

In answer to Markles's edit summary suggestion of using List of United States Senators from Massachusetts, I would vote no. Putting the image on the left makes it harder to follow names in the left column and throws off alignment of text when a senator doesn't have an image. Also, the senators needn't be numbered because they are never known by their number in the seat. Finally, the right side contains information that is not terribly informative, the number of the term and the numbers of the Congresses. This just scrunches the chart. The same is true of the hometown of the senator. Why would that matter. Finally, the "background" heading makes it sound as though only jobs done by the senator before joining the Senate are relevant, but I at least find the other information, for instance that person went on to be president or governor or also served in the other senate seat noteworthy. -Rrius (talk) 01:15, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How do senators represent Oregon[edit]

How do senators represent Oregon? Do they represent the entire state? Does one senator represent eastern Oregon while the other represents western Oregon? `ErinHowarth (talk) 23:03, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

US senators represent their entire states. Emk9 (talk) 23:15, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
