US Senators from Arkansas are representatives of the state of Arkansas in the US Senate - the upper house of the US Congress , the country's highest federal legislature. The US Senate consists of 100 members, two senators from each of the fifty US states ^[1] .

Each senator is elected for a term of 6 years, with a third of the senators being re-elected every two years. Depending on this, US senators are divided into three classes. Senators of each of these classes have the same significance - the only difference is the time of their re-election. Senators of the 2nd and 3rd grade are elected from Arkansas.

Currently, U.S. senators from Arkansas are Republicans Tom Cotton ( Tom Cotton , 19th Senator 2nd Class) and John Buzman ( John Boozman , 16th Senator 3rd Class). John Buzman has been a senator since January 3, 2011, and Tom Cotton took office on January 3, 2015.
