Heading into the election, there were 21 seats held by Democrats, 14 held by Republicans, and one by an independent. By the end of the elections, 11 seats would be held by Democrats, 24 by Republicans, and one by an independent.
The elections coincided with the mid-term elections for the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives.
