Nevada became the first state to have women hold a majority of state legislative seats (32 of 63, or 50.8%). While women hold a majority of the seats overall, they are majority in only one chamber, the Assembly, where they hold 23 of the 42 seats. The New Hampshire Senate was the first state legislative chamber to surpass gender parity in 2009, although its overall proportion in both chambers still remained below 50%.
