US Senator Twitter Accounts, 114th Congress (Historical)

This is a copy of the final version of the list of Senators for the 114th Congress, and is preserved for historical purposes.  Please see the current list for up to date information.

If you’re interested in a list of Twitter accounts for the current US Senate (114th Congress), here’s what I’ve found.  The accounts are assigned to one of three categories:

  1. Official Senator accounts, where the tweets are identified as coming from the senator or seem to be in first person,
  2. Senate staff accounts, where the tweets are identified as not coming from the senator or speak of him/her in third person, and
  3. Campaign / other accounts, where it could be the senator’s private account, the campaign account, or some vestige of a previous account.  It may not be active.

At this time, many incoming senators do not have official Twitter accounts or their account names represent their former positions (e.g., @RepGaryPeters).  I expect this to change over the next month or so.  Consider this list provisional for now.

Please send any corrections my way!
