 It's important because u need both House and Senate to pass bills.
But it depends on what's more important to you to determine if u had to pick one chamber which would it be. The Senate approves Supreme Court Justices and Cabinet positions. The House deals with our budgets and has much more impact locally as far as who gets federal aid and as far as redistricting.
Most presidents would want a Senate because u can bypass a lot that the House does. For example, Secretary of Treasury can help her implement some of her economic agendas.
