Raphael Warnock is Georgia's senior Democratic senator since 2021, senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church and the first Black senator from Georgia, re-elected in 2022.

Raphael Gamaliel Warnock, a Democrat first elected in a January 2021 runoff and re-elected in 2022, represents Georgia's senior Senate seat as the first African American ever elected to the U.S. Senate from the state. The senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta since 2005—the historic congregation led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—Warnock continues his ministerial work while in the Senate. A Savannah native and graduate of Morehouse College and Union Theological Seminary, Warnock built a national profile as an advocate for voting rights, Medicaid expansion, and criminal justice reform. In the 119th Congress, appointed to the influential Finance Committee alongside his seats on Agriculture, Banking, and the Special Committee on Aging, Warnock continues championing insulin price caps, rural broadband expansion, and federal support for historically Black colleges and universities. He has committed to protecting Medicaid, closing Georgia's coverage gap, and guarding against efforts to reduce Social Security and Medicare benefits, anchoring his Senate work to the social justice principles that define his pastoral calling.
