The Senate Democratic Conference, flush with at least 58 Members following the 2008 elections, has increased its representation on Senate committees, replacing at least one Republican on nearly every panel with Democrats.

On the Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee, the Democrats will outnumber Republicans 12 to nine, from 11 to 10. On Appropriations, the Democrats have increased their representation to 17 from 15, bumping the GOP down to 13 from 14. The Republicans lost at least eight seats in November, depending on the outcome of the delayed Minnesota race, and currently control a minority of 41 seats.

The Intelligence Committee remains unchanged, per federal law, with Democrats maintaining their one-seat advantage, eight to seven. The Joint Economic Committee is also remaining static, at six Democrats and four Republicans.

Following are new and old numbers for all major Senate committees:

Armed Services: 15 Democrats and 11 Republicans, from 13 Democrats and 12 Republicans.
