Following the 2016 state senate elections, Democrats gained complete control of the Senate, with all 25 members.
To claim control of the chamber from Democrats, the Republicans needed to gain 13 senate seats; the Republicans only managed to gain one seat, but returned to having a presence in the chamber after being shut out in the 2016 elections.
