United States Senate

The United States Senate is a legislative chamber in the bicameral legislature of the No-Maj federal government of the United States of America, and together with the House of Representatives makes up the United States Congress.

Henry Shaw Junior ran for re-election in the U.S. Senate in 1926, on a platform of railing against speakeasies and pool rooms and the corruption behind them.

Behind the scenes

 * Historically, the 1926 Senate elections took place on 2 November, 1926, the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November that year. Trailers for, however, show that the action is taking place in December, on the masthead for wizarding publication The New York Ghost. It is unlikely that he would be campaigning for the 1928 election so ahead of time (especially when considering that he is described as being running for re-election, and that that would mean he would have just been elected in the first place in 1926).
 * Historically, the 1926 Senate election saw incumbent Republican Senator from New York James W. Wadsworth, Jr. lose to Democrat Robert F. Wagner.
