Background
In the 2019 state legislature elections, Republicans expanded their majorities in both chambers to 68 in the House and 27 in the Senate.[2][3] Going into the 2023 elections, Republicans held a two-thirds supermajority in the Senate, though not in the House.
The 2023 election will be the first election held under new district maps following redistricting as a result of the 2020 census.[4]
