Held by: the sitting member before the election, matched to the district; a seat with no matched member is left unmatched rather than given a party. District lines: the Census Bureau’s 2024 state legislative districts; a seat not on this year’s ballot is drawn in the page’s gray, outlined in its sitting member’s party.
