"Senate: Committee Dominoes Stacked, But Which Way Will They Fall?"

"No matter how next month's historic elections shake out, one thing's for certain in the next Congress: New faces are set to move into leadership positions on key Senate committees.

There are lots of moving pieces at play, but based on current committee assignments and seniority, it's possible to deduce some of the options senators may have once the election is settled and it's clear which party will control the Senate.

While Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) is expected to remain the top Democrat on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee next year, the top GOP slot will see a shakeup if Democrats retake the chamber."
