Reply to comment by GraffitiTavern in Can Fettermans wife really become the senator if he’s unable? by ChickenGreaseLips

There have been a number of wives who were appointed to fill the term of deceased congressmen. Two that I can remember were Carnahan and Boggs. It's not automatic nor guaranteed though.

Senators not congressmen. Representatives can only be elected, per the Constitution.
