The 2002 United States Special Senate election in Missouri was held on November 5 2002 to decide who would serve the rest of Senator Mel Carnahan’s term after he died. The winner would serve four more years until the next election in 2006. Roger Wilson appointed Carnahan’s wife Jean to serve temporarily. She then decided to run to serve the remainder of the term. Republican nominee Jim Talent defeated her narrowly.
