Republicans in Georgia’s state House and Senate are taking different approaches to trying to preserve their majorities for another decade in spite of recent Democratic inroads.

House Republicans on Tuesday unveiled a proposal that would sacrifice a handful of members, while Senate Republicans issued a plan that seeks to protect all their incumbents except two who are seeking statewide office.

The GOP currently holds a 103-77 majority in the House and 34-22 edge in the Senate.
