Lincoln Chafee
Lincoln Davenport Chafee (born
March 26,
1953) is a
United States Senator from
Rhode Island. He got his seat when his father, John Chafee died suddenly in October
1999, and Lincoln was appointed to succeed him. He was later elected in his own right. Though a
Republican, Lincoln Chafee is fairly
liberal. Many have speculated that Chafee might have become an
independent or even joined the
Democratic Party if the party had maintained control of the Senate or gotten within one seat of doing so in the
2002 elections.
