Northern Mariana Islands Senate

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The Northern Mariana Islands Senate is the upper house of the Northern Mariana Islands Commonwealth Legislature. The Senate consists of nine senators representing three senatorial districts (Saipan & the Northern Islands, Tinian & Aguijan, and Rota), each a multi-member constituency with three senators.

In the November 2007 elections, the three senators up for re-election were all re-elected to another four-year term in the 16th and 17th Senate. The Covenant Party, which lost control of the House, entered into coalition with the Democrats and a lone Independent over the Senate's leadership and voting agenda.

The CNMI Senate is currently controlled by a Republican majority under Senate President Franciso Borja.^[1]

Maria Frica Pangelinan was the first woman to serve in the Senate.^[2]
