Background
By 2018, the State Senate was the last Republican-controlled body in the New York government.[2] In the 2018 elections, Senate Democrats won control of the chamber from the Republicans.[3] Previously, Republicans had controlled the Senate for all but three years since World War II,[4] and the Democrats' largest share of New York State Senate seats since 1912.[5]
Prior to the 2020 elections, Democrats held 40 seats in the State Senate, while Republicans held 20 seats and three other seats were vacant.[6] In the 2020 elections, Democrats won 43 State Senate seats.[7]
