Apparently, Ron and Rand Paul will be the first ever father-son combo in Congress with the son being in the Senate and the father being in the House. Thought that was interesting.

Interesting. Wonder what the parent-in-the-Senate & offspring-in-the-House pairs have been over the years? Probably quite a few I would guess..

Goldwater's: Sr-senate (AZ)
Jr House (CA)
Kennedy's: Ted senate: (MA)
Patrick house (RI)
First (and only) father and son to serve in the Senate simultaneously: Henry Dodge of Wisconsin served in the Senate from 1848 to 1857, and his son, Augustus Dodge of Iowa, served from 1855 to 1858.
