Senator and Governor are totally different jobs. Governors make plays like grant applications within the framework that Senators design. A Governor is going to have a direct impact on the roads you drive on, the businesses that open and close near you, where your kids go to school and university, all of that. A Senator is going to have very little impact on you most of the time. When a Senator passes something like an infrastructure bill, the program almost always goes to your Governor first before you see any real world impact.
