senators</a> are conventionally ranked by the length of their tenure in the Senate. The senator in each <a href="/wiki/U.S._state" title="U.S. state">U.S. state</a> with the longer time in office is known as the <i>senior senator</i>; the other is the <i>junior senator</i>. This convention has no official standing, though seniority confers several benefits, including preference in the choice of <a href="/wiki/United_States_Senate_committee" class="mw-redirect" title="United States Senate committee">committee assignments</a> and physical offices. When senators have been in office for the same length of time, a number of tiebreakers, including previous offices held, are used to determine seniority.

Because several new senators usually join at the beginning of a new Congress, seniority is determined by prior federal or state government service and, if necessary, the amount of time spent in the tiebreaking office.

For instance, <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Moran" title="Jerry Moran">Jerry Moran</a>, <a href="/wiki/John_Boozman" title="John Boozman">John Boozman</a>, <a href="/wiki/John_Hoeven" title="John Hoeven">John Hoeven</a>, <a href="/wiki/Marco_Rubio" title="Marco Rubio">Marco Rubio</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ron_Johnson" title="Ron Johnson">Ron Johnson</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rand_Paul" title="Rand Paul">Rand Paul</a>, <a href="/wiki/Richard_Blumenthal" title="Richard Blumenthal">Richard Blumenthal</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Mike_Lee" title="Mike Lee">Mike Lee</a> took office on January 3, 2011. The first two senators mentioned had served in the House of Representatives: Moran had served for 14 years and Boozman for nine. As a former governor, Hoeven is ranked immediately after the former House members. The rest are ranked by population as of the <a href="/wiki/2000_United_States_census" title="2000 United States census">2000 census</a>.
