I.e Warren with fiscal issues or Graham with foreign policy.

I'd say Ayotte leans towards security, while Shaheen... well, I don't really know actually. And yes, I'm still in NH. Just changing my avatar ahead of time because I start college in Maine in a couple months.

Not quite sure what Kaine or Warner are about.

But Boxer's a heavy environmentalist, and Feinstein's all about security.

Being a religious zealot and being a religious zealot.

Actually, I'll correct - Jim Inhofe used to have a specialty for being a perennial candidate in Oklahoma politics.

Warner seems comfortable with "accountant" issues while Kaine leads towards environment issues.

Orrin Hatch tends to focus on healthcare issues, especially pharmaceutical stuff.

Mike Lee is basically just the lovechild of Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, though he has the distinction of claiming the Constitution lets him grant himself a letter of marquee to make himself a privateer/pirate.

Kaine is on Armed Services and Foreign Relations, and accordingly, he's been fairly focused on Foreign Policy and the Military.

Warner seems to be more focused on financial issues, though he's more low key than Kaine.

Claire McCaskill seems to take a big interest in farm issues and military sexual assault.

Roy Blunt is too busy representing Monsanto in the Senate to really care about anything else.

Burr:

Tillis:
- Promoting unsanitary habits.
- Subverting public education, and public institutions in general.
- Helping non-NC states with teacher recruiting.
- Discouraging youth/minority voters from participating in the electoral process.
- Crusading for social issues via underhanded and sneaky means.
- Systematically diminishing the clout of minority voters.

Warner:  Budget, Jobs
Kaine: Defense, defending Congressional role in foreign policy

Being a religious zealot and being a religious zealot.

Actually, I'll correct - Jim Inhofe used to have a specialty for being a perennial candidate in Oklahoma politics.

I believe Inhofe's focus is furthering the interests of resource extraction industries.

Dianne Feinstein: being the epitome of the Corporate Democrat. Related to this, being a close ally of the military-industrial-intelligence complex.

Barbara Boxer: being the blunt, annoying liberal caricature that Republicans love to hate.

Eh, why not Maine.

Collins likes senior issues quite a bit, and King seems to have found a nice home in foreign policy/security for some reason.
