The Republican Study Committee (RSC) is a congressional caucus of conservative members of the Republican Party in the United States House of Representatives.^[3] In November 2022, Representative Kevin Hern of Oklahoma was elected as the chair of the RSC,^[4] effective as of January 2023.^[5]

Although the primary functions of the RSC vary from year to year, it has always pushed for significant cuts in non-defense spending,^[6] advocated socially conservative legislation,^[7] and supported the right to keep and bear arms.^[8] It has proposed an alternative budget every year since 1995.^[9] In 2007, in conjunction with the unveiling of its "Taxpayer Bill of Rights",^[10] it presented an alternative budget resolution that it claimed would balance the budget within five years without increasing income taxes.^[11]^[12]^{[better source needed]}

Entering the 118th United States Congress, the RSC was the largest ideological caucus in Congress of either party.^[13]
