Following the 2022 legislative races and party changes in both chambers of the legislature, Democratic presence in state government has been reduced to a historically small level. This has come after roughly a decade of change in the composition of the state government, with the legislature beginning the 2010s with decisive Democratic majorities and ending the decade with Republican ones. This change has been characterized by Democratic to Republican party switches among legislators and other officials, and increasing margins of victory for Republicans over time, as ancestrally Democratic-leaning regions and demographics shift towards the GOP.
