Caucus in the U.S. Congress
CHC members in 2005 with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
The Congressional Hispanic Conference (CHC) is a Republican sponsored caucus in the United States Congress. Currently with 20 members, the CHC was formed in 2003, with the stated goal of promoting policy outcomes of importance to Americans of Hispanic or Lusitanic descent.[1]
The impetus behind the Conference's creation was the debate surrounding the nomination of conservative lawyer Miguel Estrada to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals and ideological differences in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, which was predominantly populated by Democratic members of Congress.[2][3]
As of 2024, the Conference has 15 members in the House and 2 members in the Senate, as well as 3 non-voting members.
