Map Monday: Party Control

When a party controls a legislative chamber, it oversees one piece of state policymaking. When a party controls both chambers, it drives policy. That's why state legislative races are so important to both parties and the public. Legislatures-along with governors-set most public policy nationwide, from abortion to health care to voting to youth homelessness. NCSL identifies who will be in charge when legislatures go back into session next year. Please note: The map below reflects which party controls legislative chambers and governorships, which is slightly different from the current partisan makeup of each chamber.
