The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is the Republican Hill committee for the United States Senate, working to elect Republicans to that body. Its current chair is Senator Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina. In November 2004, Dole narrowly edged out Norm Coleman (28 votes to 27 within the Senate Republican caucus) to head the NRSC following the departure of Senator George Allen of Virginia.
Current Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist was an NRSC chair, and many feel he used it to make the connections that he used to become majority leader when Trent Lott resigned.
