This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Republicans have controlled the Assembly since 2011 and Hintz faces yet another frustrating two-year session after Republicans emerged from last week’s election with an overwhelming 63-36 advantage in the chamber. Democrats managed to flip only one seat under his leadership.
