The State Senate was heavily contested, as the Republicans held a 32-30 majority going into the election.[7] The election saw the Democrats take control of the State Senate for the first time since 1966 with a 32-30 majority.[8] They gained one seat in the State Assembly. Therefore, Democrats held a trifecta in the state for the first time since 1935.
