Puerto Rican Senate

The Puerto Rican Senate is the upper chamber of the Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico. It consists of 27 members elected by the public to serve four-year terms. Senators represent different districts and play a crucial role in creating and voting on laws, approving budgets, and overseeing government actions. The Senate works in conjunction with the House of Representatives, the lower chamber, to shape Puerto Rican legislation. This body reflects Puerto Rico's unique political status as a territory of the United States with its own local government and legislative powers.
