Liberty Caucus

The House Liberty Caucus is a congressional caucus consisting of conservative, libertarian, and libertarian conservative members of the United States House of Representatives.

Prior to the formal creation of the House Liberty Caucus, Rep. Ron Paul hosted a luncheon in Washington, D.C. every Thursday for a group of Republican members of the House of Representatives that he called the Liberty Caucus. The group's proposition was similar to the political action committee known as the Republican Liberty Caucus and "support[ed] individual rights, limited government and free enterprise".

After the 112th Congress began and Ron Paul switched his focus to his presidential campaign, his luncheon was replaced by a formal congressional member organization. That member organization was named the House Liberty Caucus and was initially chaired by Justin Amash. The House Liberty Caucus was joined by Republican members who wanted to "focus on specific issues like economic freedom, individual liberty, and following the Constitution". During his time in Congress, Jared Polis of Colorado was the only Democratic member of the caucus. The caucus has been characterized as "conservative with a libertarian emphasis" and was associated with the Tea Party movement. In June 2014, the caucus supported Raúl Labrador's campaign for House Majority Leader. In February 2019, Politico reported that the House Liberty Caucus had eight members.

As of November 2023, Rep. Warren Davidson is listed as the leader of the Congressional Liberty Caucus.
