He was one of the “Shadow Senators” of the United States. (Source: http://senatordc.wdcnet.net/ shadow_senate_history.html ). The position of "Shadow" U.S. Senator is not unique to the District of Columbia. From the earliest days of the republic, those areas desirous of statehood have elected their United States Senators prior to their admission to the Union. Of the twelve Shadow Senators elected prior to their State's admission to the Union, all but one of them were eventually seated as full voting Senators.
