Some of these photos need to be updated

Some of the photos used here for the Senators are quite old. In particular, the one of Susan Collins is from 15-30 years ago. A lot of the names could use newer or updated photos next to their name. BreoncoUSA1 (talk) 21:03, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect page

I have an issue with this page being redirected to "List of United States Senators". In my opinion, that page name should be for a list of every senator ever. Does anyone else think that this redirect should be removed, or should I let it stay? PoliticallyPassionateGamer (talk) 22:08, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Occupations v. Previous elective offices ordering

Is there a reason why occupations seem to be ordered from oldest to most recent (for instance, Mark Kelly's goes from "U.S. Naval officer" to "Americans for Responsible Solutions co-founder") while elective offices begins with most recent to oldest?
