Change is coming to the Legislature next January.
And it will be substantial in terms of new senators.
Whether it is going to be significant in terms of policy decisions or partisan inclinations will remain uncertain until senators begin to tackle legislation and relate to a new governor who will be elected in November.
Count 11 current senators who will be term-limited out of office at the end of the year, two who decided not to seek reelection, at least two who have been or will be elected to other offices and one who died during the fading days of the 2022 legislative session, and you find at least 16 new senators will be taking seats in the legislative chamber next year.
That's one-third of the body of 49 senators, and that number and percentage could increase with the results of the Nov. 8 general election, when at least three incumbent senators appear to be facing tough challenges.

So a full third of the legislative branch in Nebraska is being replaced.
Add to that the ouster of the Nebraska GOP chairman two weeks ago.
Change is coming!
Wasn’t Nebraska one of those bright red states every year?
“Wasn’t Nebraska one of those bright red states every year?”
Yes, but it has its pockets of Democrats. It’s one of the two states that splits its electoral votes and Obama got one of the votes.
And the Republican side tended toward RINOism (see Ben Sasse).
But times are changing.
Apparently there are actually 12 incumbents who were term-limited out: 9 R and only 3 D — yeah, they’re officially “non-partisan” but people know what party they are.
Maybe someone in Nebraska can help separate the RINOs from the conservatives, but looking at the primary results there are 2 districts held by term-limited Republicans which could flip to D in November, and an equal amount could go the other direction.
There are also 2 Democrat incumbents who are being seriously threatened (I mean electorally threatened, not threatened like Lee Zeldin). So if all goes well in November it could be GOP +2 in the NE Legislature but RINOs + Democrats may still have effective control.
Just as much as Tennessee was bright red but governed by RINO traitors. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, along with governors and the state legislature were RINO dominated. Blackburn and Haggerty are improvements, but government at the state level is still RINO-infested. Nashville is quickly becoming a Democrat sh**hole. You can't walk 2 feet in that city without being approached by beggars. Even high-crime Memphis doesn't have the beggars like Nashville does.
So wearing a dress to class, using the girls bathroom is not a tip off?
Connecticut has a lot of retirements this year...
The article failed to mention that o ly half the senate seats are up for election. The legislature elects senators to four year terms in two cycles. So this is 16 of the Twenty-four of the chamber’s 49 seats are up for election in 2022.
