Sources and method

Current members are the active entries in the official roster. The three inactive entries marked resigned were excluded. General-election classifications use the highest vote total for Senate and the top two totals for House in each district. Statewide candidates who left the Legislature to seek another office are listed separately. Absence from the primary and general records does not establish why a member chose not to run.
