2000 United States Senate election in Rhode Island


The 2000 United States Senate election in Rhode Island was held November 7, 2000. Republican U.S. Senator John Chafee had announced in 1999 that he would not seek reelection, leading his son, Lincoln Chafee, to announce his own candidacy. The elder Chafee, however, would unexpectedly die a few months later, and Lincoln was appointed to fill the remainder of his father's term. The younger Chafee, now the incumbent, was elected his first full term. As of, this is the last congressional election in Rhode Island won by a Republican.
