Multiple states in the Senate

Only two senators have represented more than one state. ^[1]

• James Shields uniquely served terms in the U.S. Senate for three states; representing Illinois (1849–1855), Minnesota (1858–1859), and 20 years later he was appointed by the State of Missouri for a term expiring in just six weeks (1879). He was a Democrat. ^[2]
• Waitman T. Willey was a Restored Government of Virginia Senator (1861–1863) who helped create West Virginia. He was then appointed as one of the new state's first two senators (1863–1871). He was a Unionist until 1865 and a Republican thereafter. ^[1]
