Obama previously served three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2005. Obama won the seat in an election against Alan Keyes who replaced Republican Primary election winner Jack Ryan.

Upon his election, he became the fifth African-American Senator in U.S. history, the third to have been popularly elected.

His bill sponsorship and voting records indicates that he was a loyalist to the Democratic Party. He was considered to be among the most liberal by various analyses. In his first session (109th Congress), he was involved in immigration reform. Legislation bearing his name was passed for armament reduction and federal transparency as well as relief aid. In the first year of the 110th Congress, he worked on lobbying and campaign finance reform, election reform, climate control and troop reduction. In the second year, he legislated for oversight of certain military discharges, Iran divestment and nuclear terrorism reduction, but President George W. Bush vetoed his legislation for State Children's Health Insurance Program-related military family job protections.
