Originally the legislatures of each U.S. state selected their two U.S. senators and sent them to Washington. But in 1913, the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provided for popular election of U.S. senators by state citizens. Each state has its own process and rules around nominating and electing their U.S. senators.
