For the 114th Congress, convening Tuesday, Kentucky is the home state of the Senate majority leader; the speaker of the House is from Ohio, and the Senate and House minority leaders hail from Nevada and California, respectively. Yet, a look at key positions of legislative control on Capitol Hill shows tremendous power residing in the Texas delegation.

WASHINGTON On the first day of the 114th Congress on Tuesday, Texans were players in the House of Representatives and the Senate as Republicans claimed control of both chambers, taking the Senate for the first time since 2007.

John Cornyn, R-Texas, was sworn in after winning a third term and became the chamber's second most powerful leader, the Senate majority whip.
