Seven alumni are currently serving in Congress, including a newly elected senator from Michigan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Joe Wilensky<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the 119th U.S. Congress began its session in January 2025, the total number of Cornellians serving remained the same as last year\u2014seven\u2014although one person moved from the House to the Senate. Democrat Elissa Slotkin \u201998, who served three terms representing Michigan\u2019s 7th District, was elected her state\u2019s newest senator, defeating a Republican opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slotkin becomes the first Cornellian elected to the Senate since Mark Kirk \u201981 (R-Illinois), who finished the final months of then-President Barack Obama\u2019s Senate term and then served one full term from 2010\u201317. Slotkin is only the seventh Cornellian (including two who attended but didn\u2019t earn degrees) to serve in the U.S. Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
