DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- Iowa Republicans have gained control of the state House, but Democrats were hanging on to the Senate by a slim margin.
   
Republicans were positioned Tuesday night to control the House with at least 56 seats in the 100-member chamber.
   
Democrats were holding a majority in the Senate but Republicans had picked up at least three seats, given them 21 positions in the 50-member chamber.
   
House GOP Leader Kraig Paulsen, of Hiawatha, says Republicans will focus on jobs, the economy and reducing the size of government.
