That's what I'd put as well...
Dear Senator so and so...
I had problems with Royalty. I didn't know how to address the prince
of Monaco. It was odd writing it. But for anyone in public office
with a title, I'd put the greeting like they sign on the salutation of
their correspondence. You can't go wrong that way.

When writing to former Senators, do we address the envelope as Sen. John Doe

do we address the envelope as Mr. John Doe?
As a matter of courtesy I would address them as Senator John/Jane Doe
