In the US congress, the party that holds the majority gets to select the chairmen & women, and decide who will run important committees. In the 2014 mid-term elections, the Republicans won the most seats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate; so, as the majority party, they became able to name members of their own party to all of the major committees. When the Democrats controlled the Senate or the House (or both), it was their party that named these committee leaders.
