2025 Legislative Session Dates & Party Control

Duane Morris Government Strategies put together a list of 2025 legislative session dates for all 50 states, viewable by hovering over each state in the map below. In addition to session dates, the below map also includes which party controls each legislative chamber and governor’s office.

A trifecta occurs when one political party maintains control of the governor’s office as well as majorities in each legislative chamber. Following the 2024 elections, Republicans broke up Democrat trifectas in Michigan and Minnesota but lost one trifecta in Alaska (AK is due to have a power-sharing agreement in 2025). Democrats now have 15 trifectas to the GOP’s 23. The other 12 states are divided governments where neither party holds a trifecta.

This compares to 2024 when the GOP had 24 trifectas to the Democrats’ 17 with 9 states having divided governments.
