He is currently the junior United States Senator from Minnesota. Franken became well known in the 1970s and 1980s as a writer and performer on Saturday Night Live (SNL). Franken is a member of the Minnesota Democratic Farmer Labor Party (DFL), an affiliate of the Democratic Party. He worked on SNL as a writer and performer until 1980 and returned from 1985 to 1995. After leaving SNL, he wrote and acted in movies and television shows. He also hosted a nationally syndicated radio talk show, The Al Franken Show, and authored six books, four of which are political satires critical of conservative politics. Franken ran for the U.S. Senate from Minnesota in 2008 and after a statewide recount, Franken was declared the winner by a margin of 312 votes. Franken was sworn into the Senate on July 7, 2009. He was re-elected to a second term in office in 2014."
