The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) is a congressional caucus affiliated with the Democratic Party in the United States Congress.[5] The CPC represents the furthest left-leaning faction of the Democratic Party.[3][6] It was founded in 1991 and has grown since then, becoming the second-largest Democratic caucus in the House of Representatives.
As of March 6, 2024, the CPC has 98 members (96 voting Representatives, 1 non-voting Delegate, and 1 Senator),[7][8][9][10] 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 Pramila Jayapal (D-WA). In addition, the CPC is affiliated with the Congressional Political Caucus PAC, a political action committee which is led by members of the caucus.
