The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) is a congressional caucus affiliated with the Democratic Party in the United States Congress.[4] The CPC represents the progressive faction of the Democratic Party.[2][5] It was founded in 1991 and has grown since then, becoming the second-largest Democratic caucus in the House of Representatives.
As of July 19, 2024, the CPC has 98 members (95 voting representatives, one non-voting delegate, and one senator),[6][7][8][9] making it the second-largest ideological caucus in the House Democratic Caucus by voting members, behind the New Democrat Coalition. The CPC is chaired by U.S. representative Greg Casar (D-TX). In addition, the CPC is affiliated with the Congressional Political Caucus PAC, a political action committee which is led by members of the caucus.
