Naming current U.S. Senators

Two years ago, I wrote a piece about naming United States Supreme Court cases and a piece about naming U.S. state nicknames. I've now come up with a new challenge: naming current U.S. Senators.

I was able to name the following seventy-two Senators; if you wish to participate in the challenge, I would recommend thinking of Senators before looking at my list. The Senators I couldn't name are listed separately:

1. Lamar Alexander (R-Tennessee)

2. Kelly Ayotte (R-New Hampshire)

3. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin)

4. Mark Begich (D-Alaska)

5. Michael Bennett (D-Colorado)

58. Harry Reid (D-Nevada) 

59. Pat Roberts (R-Kansas)

61. Jeanne Shaheen (D-New Hampshire)

62. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii)

63. Chuck Schumer (D-New York)

69. David Vitter (R-Louisiana)

70. John Walsh (D-Montana)

10. Johnny Isakson (R-Georgia)

11. Mike Johanns (R-Nebraska)

12. Mike Lee (R-Utah)

13. Tim Kaine (D-Virginia)

14. Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia)

15. Ed Markey (D-Massachusetts)

16. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas)

25. Mark Udall (D-Colorado)

26. Mark Warner (D-Virginia)

27. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts)

28. Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi)

Being able to name 72% of the Senators is a high percentage, although I facepalmed when my brother told me that I'd forgotten Elizabeth Warren. How many Senators can you name?
