While Republicans have remained the minority since 2002, Democrats lost six seats in 2021, plummeting their majority from 52-28 to 46-34 in the General Assembly.
According to Ballotpedia, 28 legislative seats were without incumbents, indicating no previous officeholders are seeking re-election. This constitutes a substantial 23% of the state's legislative body, reflecting the highest open seat rate in the past ten years.
