Republican-controlled New Hampshire, with its 400 member House, is still up in the air. (2/2)

[Serlin Haley LLP @serlinhaley]

Dems hold steady, make gains in most New England state legislatures. Races in statehouses are still being called, but the Dems are poised to hold or make modest gains in their majorities across CT, MA, ME, RI and VT. (1/2)

With a divided federal government on the horizon, policy and regulatory action at the state level will be playing a key role in the coming years. As always, Serlin Haley will be ready.

@AmericanAir really, really … I’m less than $200 short of my EQDs to hit the status waiver by 12/31 ..I’ll pay you the $200 to have SOMEONE else fly … I just can’t today/tomorrow … and you still won’t extend status. #dobetter

The delayed arrival of the data, which is not expected until September 30th of this year, is posing a challenge for states with statutory and constitutional deadlines to complete redistricting before the primaries for the 2022 election cycle can begin in earnest

[Serlin Haley LLP @serlinhaley]

The Department of Commerce recently announced a six-month delay in the delivery of 2020 Census data that is necessary for states to begin their redistricting processes. https://t.co/DVZUkoDjk2

The Republicans did also gain two new trifectas, the first in aforementioned New Hampshire and the second in Montana, as Greg Gianforte secured the Governor’s Mansion for the GOP there for the first time in 16 years.

[Serlin Haley LLP @serlinhaley]

Because Virginia’s House and Senate flipped to Democrats in 2019, the partisan makeup of the country’s state legislative bodies remains exactly where it was two years ago: 29 legislatures in the hands of Republicans, 19 under Democratic control, and one (Minnesota) divided.

[Serlin Haley LLP @serlinhaley]

At the state level, the 2020 elections ended not bringing too much change to the national political landscape, with only two chambers, both the New Hampshire House and Senate, flipping to opposite party control (in this case, the GOP). https://t.co/cLPcwSKioj

[Serlin Haley LLP @serlinhaley]

The decision means that instead of 34-33 split in the GOP-led chamber, the Senate will be comprised of 34 Republicans, 31 Democrats and two independents. Democrats will retain a majority in the state House.

[Serlin Haley LLP @serlinhaley]

Two Senators in the narrowly divided Minnesota State Senate are forming an independent caucus. The decision by Sen. Tom Bakk, a longtime Capitol power broker, and Sen. David Tomassoni will likely further shift dynamics at the state Legislature next year. https://t.co/c5evd4NnaO

[Serlin Haley LLP @serlinhaley]

How much time legislators spend together and how sessions will run already look significantly different all over the country, with some states opting for a largely virtual approach while others will choose conduct some, if not all of the legislative processes in person.

[Serlin Haley LLP @serlinhaley]

Other issues may fall by the wayside, especially if there’s limited time available to gather together.

[Serlin Haley LLP @serlinhaley]

Despite significant interest in big-picture policy issues there is some indication that state legislatures will have a more narrowly focused agenda in 2021. https://t.co/caSrB0Z5tw

2020 has been saved just in the Rick of time ...

Wow 32 years goes fast! Congrats!

[Andrew Hackman @arhackma]

Better than waiting on the B.A.A.!

[Serlin Haley LLP @serlinhaley]

This year is significant because chambers are up for grabs, as both the Democrats and the Republicans eye either holding on to gains made in previous cycles, or for Democrats to flip control of whole state houses.
