Following the 2008 State Senate elections, the Republicans maintained effective control of the Senate with nineteen members to the Democrats' twelve.

To claim control of the chamber from Republicans, the Democrats needed to gain four seats. Instead, while neither party gained seats from the other, the Republicans earned over 70% of the vote to the Democrats' 23%. In addition, the GOP fielded candidates for all sixteen races; the Democrats fielded eight. .
