Feingold served in the senate from 1993 until 2011. He ran again in 2016 for the Senate seat against Johnson, and he was widely expected to win as he consistently led in the polls and raised more money than Johnson. However, in a surprise upset, Johnson won the election.<ref>Meyer, Theodoric (November 9, 2016).
