Former United States senator from Massachusetts Edward Brooke was the first African-American elected by popular vote to the U.S. Senate. He took office in 1966 and remained the sole African American elected to the Senate until 1993. Brooke served two terms and lost his third bid for re-election to Paul Tsongas largely as a result of a loss of favor with his constituency due to a vitriolic divorce.
