In the House, Democrats hold or lead 43 seats and Republicans 56, against 34 and 65 before. Nine seats are led by another party than held them.

Leaders in the count from civicAPI (counts aggregated from official state and county results), not called winners. A close seat can still change.

One dot per seat, 33 in all; a party across the line holds a majority. 2 seats change hands, striped where they land.

Before: 9–24. With the leaders elected: 11–22, every seat not on the ballot as it was and every seat on it to the party leading the count.

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.
