Washington, DC (RI) — Iowa Republican Chuck Grassley is the longest-serving CURRENT member of the US Senate and he’s not ruling out running for re-election in 2028.
Grassley, who will turn 92 in September, says when the time comes, he’ll consider the factors that played into his decisions about previous campaigns.
Grassley has served over 50 years in the U.S. Congress — the first six years as a member of the House and, for the past 44 years and nearly eight months, as a U.S. Senator. West Virginia’s Robert Byrd was a U.S. Senator for 51 years — the record for longest-serving senator in U.S. history. Grassley and his wife, Barbara, just celebrated their 71st wedding anniversary. According to the US Census Bureau, about one-tenth of one percent of marriages in the United States reach that milestone.
