congressional caucus

A congressional caucus is a group of lawmakers within the U.S. Congress who share common interests, beliefs, or goals. They collaborate to influence legislation, advocate for specific issues, and coordinate efforts across party lines. Caucuses can be based on party affiliation, geographic region, or particular topics like education, veterans’ affairs, or environmental issues. They serve as platforms for discussion, strategy, and raising awareness, helping members focus on common priorities and improve legislative effectiveness.
