The CPC is chaired by U.S. representative [[Greg Casar]] (D-TX). In addition, the CPC is affiliated with the Congressional Political Caucus PAC, a [[political action committee]] which is led by members of the caucus.

== History ==
The CPC was established in 1991 by U.S. representatives [[Ron Dellums]] (D-CA), [[Lane Evans]] (D-IL), [[Thomas Andrews (American politician)|Thomas Andrews]] (D-ME), [[Peter DeFazio]] (D-OR), [[Maxine Waters]] (D-CA) and [[Bernie Sanders]] (I-VT). Additional representatives joined soon thereafter, including [[Major Owens]] (D-NY), [[Nydia Velázquez]] (D-NY), [[David Bonior]] (D-MI), [[Bob Filner]] (D-CA), [[Barney Frank]] (D-MA), [[Maurice Hinchey]] (D-NY), [[Jim McDermott]] (D-WA), [[Jerry Nadler]] (D-NY), [[Patsy Mink]] (D-HI), [[George Miller (California politician)|George Miller]] (D-CA), [[Pete Stark]] (D-CA), [[John Olver]] (D-MA), [[Nancy Pelosi]] (D-CA), and [[Lynn Woolsey]] (D-CA). Sanders was the first CPC chairman.<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Talbot |first1=Margaret |title=The Populist Prophet |url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/10/12/the-populist-prophet |magazine=The New Yorker |date=October 5, 2015 |access-date=19 May 2020}}</ref>

The founding CPC members were concerned about the economic hardship imposed by the deepening recession and the growing inequality brought about by the timidity of the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] response in the early 1990s. On January 3, 1995, at a standing room only news conference on Capitol Hill, they were the first group inside Congress to chart a comprehensive legislative alternative to U.S. speaker Newt Gingrich and the Republican [[Contract with America]]. The CPC's agenda was framed as "The Progressive Promise: Fairness".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Brodey |first1=Sam |title=How Keith Ellison made the Congressional Progressive Caucus into a political force that matters |url=https://www.minnpost.com/dc-dispatches/2015/07/how-keith-ellison-made-congressional-progressive-caucus-political-force-matter/ |website=MinnPost |date=July 21, 2015 |access-date=19 May 2020}}</ref>

== Policy positions ==
The CPC advocates "a universal, high-quality, [[Medicare for All]] health care system for all", [[living wage]] laws, reductions in military expenditure, increased corporate regulation and taxes, ending mass [[Incarceration in the United States|incarceration]], strong [[Climate change mitigation|measures to reverse climate change]], immigration reform and [[Reparations for slavery in the United States|reparations]].<ref name="cpcpromise">{{cite web|publisher=Congressional Progressive Caucus|title=The Progressive Promise|access-date=December 18, 2020|url=https://cpc-grijalva.house.gov/the-progressive-promise/}}</ref>

===Economy===
In April 2011, the CPC released a proposed "People's Budget" for fiscal year 2012.<ref>{{cite web|title=The People's Budget|url=http://grijalva.house.gov/uploads/The%20CPC%20FY2012%20Budget.pdf|access-date=April 24, 2011|publisher=Congressional Progressive Caucus|archive-date=April 26, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110426170342/http://grijalva.house.gov/uploads/The%20CPC%20FY2012%20Budget.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> Two of its proponents stated: "By implementing a fair tax code, by building a resilient American economy, and by bringing our troops home, we achieve a budget surplus of over $30 billion by 2021 and we end up with a debt that is less than 65% of our GDP. This is what sustainability looks like".<ref>{{citation|last1=Honda|first1=Michael|title=The only real Democratic budget|date=April 11, 2011|url=https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/economy-a-budget/88289-the-only-real-democratic-budget/|newspaper=[[The Hill (newspaper)|The Hill]]|access-date=March 24, 2018|last2=Grijalva|first2=Raul|author-link=Michael Honda|author2-link=Raul Grijalva}}</ref>

In 2019, the [[Party divisions of United States Congresses|Democratic-controlled]] [[United States House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] passed H.R.582, ''The Raise the Wage Act'',<ref>[https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/582#:~:text=Passed%20House%20(07%2F18%2F2019)&text=(Sec.,less%20than%2020%20years%20old Summary: H.R.582 — 116th Congress (2019-2020)] congress.gov</ref> which would have gradually raised the minimum wage to $15 per hour. It was not taken up in the Republican-controlled [[United States Senate|Senate]].

But it also estimated the policy would lift 900,000 people out of poverty and raise income for 17 million people — about 1 in 10 workers. Another 10 million who have wages just above that amount could potentially see increases, as well, the CBO reported.}}</ref> On February 27, 2021, the Democratic-controlled House passed the [[American Rescue Plan Act of 2021|American Rescue Plan]] [[COVID-19 pandemic|pandemic]] relief package, which included a gradual minimum wage increase to $15 per hour.<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021/02/26/american-rescue-plan-house-coronavirus-stimulus/ "American Rescue Plan: What's in the House's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan"], ''[[Washington Post]]'', February 27, 2021.</ref> The measure was ultimately removed from the Senate version of the bill.<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021/03/06/biden-stimulus-covid-relief "Senate passes $1.9 trillion Biden relief bill after voting overnight on amendments, sends measure back to House"], ''[[Washington Post]]'', March 6, 2021.</ref>

====2024 elections====
Five weeks after the 2024 elections, Caucus chair-elect [[Greg Casar]] connected "serious discontent" with the Democratic Party to the "2008 housing crash", as manifested in [[Occupy Wall Street]] and certain aims for movements such as [[Black Lives Matter]]. According to Casar, Democratic Party leaders must redirect voter attentions away from the specter of "an asylum seeker trying to raise your rent" to "hedge funds just buying up neighborhoods, jacking up the rent and being deregulated by the Republicans."<ref name="The New York Times">{{cite news |last1=Bidgood |first1=Jess |title=The Texas Millennial Trying to Rebrand the Democrats |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/us/politics/democrats-texas-greg-casar.html |agency=New York Times |date=December 13, 2024}}</ref> In a subsequent interview, the Texas labor advocate admitted that "the Democratic brand has been damaged" and outlined the Progressive Caucus strategy for a "rebrand".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Desjardins |first1=Lisa |title=Rep. Greg Casar outlines progressive caucus efforts to rebrand Democratic Party |url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/rep-greg-casar-outlines-progressive-caucus-efforts-to-rebrand-democratic-party |work=PBS News |date=18 December 2024 |language=en-us}}</ref>

Casar observed that, during the 2024 electoral campaigns, Republicans focused on "targeting and scapegoating a group of vulnerable people in order to make it sound like, in Middle America, that is all the Democratic Party works on and cares about." Casar pointed out that [[Nancy Mace]], for instance, had already announced plans to regulate "which marble bathroom certain people can and can’t use, because she wants to distract the American people from the billionaire tax cut that she’s about to work on with Donald Trump." But he added that Democrats should not support "fighting for working people first" as an avenue for "throwing [another group of] vulnerable people under the bus."<ref name="The New York Times"/>

In narrating authenticity, "what works is if we tell a clear and authentic story to the American people about why they feel screwed over." In response to such stories promulgated across the aisle, "We should point out that it wasn’t a trans person that denied your health insurance claim; it was a gigantic corporation that went unregulated by the Republicans. It’s not an undocumented immigrant raising your rent; it’s a Wall Street hedge fund that’s doing it, and Trump is appointing those guys to his Cabinet. I think the Progressive Caucus is ready to tell that kind of story."<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Ramirez |first1=Nikki McCann |title=Dems' New Progressive Leader: 'Diet' Republicanism Won't Work |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/greg-casar-progressive-caucus-chair-democrats-future-1235205448/ |magazine=Rolling Stone |date=14 December 2024}}</ref>

===Health care===
The [[Medicare for All Act]] is a bill first introduced in the [[United States House of Representatives]] by Representative [[John Conyers]] (D-MI) in 2003, with 38 co-sponsors.<ref name="HR676">{{USBill|108|HR|676}}</ref><ref name=":0">[http://www.beckershospitalreview.com/racs-/-icd-9-/-icd-10/house-reps-introduce-medicare-for-all-bill.html "House Reps Introduce Medicare-for-All Bill"] ''Becker's Hospital Review'', Feb. 14, 2013</ref> In 2019, the original 16-year-old proposal was renumbered, and [[Pramila Jayapal]] (D-WA) introduced a broadly similar but more detailed bill,<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|date=2019-02-02|title=Medicare for All bill loses its special number|url=https://www.modernhealthcare.com/article/20190202/NEWS/190139976/medicare-for-all-bill-loses-its-special-number|access-date=2019-06-17|website=Modern Healthcare|language=en}}</ref> HR 1384, in the [[116th United States Congress|116th Congress]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-02-27|title=Dingell, Jayapal and more than 100 Co-Sponsors Introduce Medicare For All Act of 2019|url=https://debbiedingell.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1659|access-date=2019-06-18|website=U.S. Representative Debbie Dingell|language=en}}</ref> {{As of|2019|November|3|df=US}}, it had 116 co-sponsors still in the House at the time, or 49.8% of House Democrats.<ref>{{cite web|title=H.R.1384 – Medicare for All Act of 2019|url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/1384/all-info#cosponsors-content|access-date=2019-11-03|publisher=U.S. Congress}}</ref>

The act would establish a universal [[single-payer health care]] system in the United States, the rough equivalent of [[Medicare (Canada)|Canada's Medicare]] and [[Republic of China|Taiwan]]'s [[Healthcare in Taiwan|Bureau of National Health Insurance]], among other examples. Under a single-payer system, most medical care would be paid for by the [[Government of the United States|federal government]], ending the need for private health insurance and premiums, and re-casting private insurance companies as providing purely supplemental coverage, to be used when non-essential care is sought. The national system would be paid for in part through taxes replacing insurance premiums, but also by savings realized through the provision of preventive universal health care and the elimination of insurance company [[Overhead (business)|overhead]] and hospital billing costs.<ref name="Krugman 2005-06-13">{{cite news|last=Krugman |first=Paul |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/13/opinion/13krugman.html |title=One Nation, Uninsured |work=The New York Times |date=June 13, 2005 |access-date=December 4, 2011}}</ref> On September 13, 2017, Senator [[Bernie Sanders]] (I-VT) introduced a parallel bill in the [[United States Senate]], with 16 co-sponsors.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.newsweek.com/bernie-sanders-sponsor-single-payer-healthcare-bill-574403|title=Bernie Sanders to Sponsor Single-Payer Healthcare Bill |website=Newsweek |date=Mar 26, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite tweet |first=RoseAnn |last=DeMoro |user=RoseAnnDeMoro |number=908031640995168256 |date=September 13, 2017 |title=.@BernieSanders shouts out the Democrats that did the right thing in supporting #MedicareForAll. #WednesdayWisdom |access-date=13 September 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/676|title=115th United States Congress |date=2017–2018 |publisher=U.S. Congress }}</ref> The act would establish a universal single-payer health care system in the United States.<ref name="Krugman 2005-06-13" />

The Senate, having been controlled by [[Republican Party (United States)|Republicans]], did not bring the bill up for a vote.

====Abortion rights====

The term is a modern-day variation of the U.S. New Deal, an ambitious effort launched by President Franklin Roosevelt to lift the United States out of the Great Depression. The New Deal of that era entailed a strong government role in economic planning and a series of stimulus packages launched between 1933 and 1938 that created jobs through ambitious governmental programs, including the construction of roads, trails, dams, and schools. Today's Green New Deal proposals are also premised on the importance of decisive governmental action, but incorporate policies to respond to pressing environmental challenges through a new paradigm of sustainable economic progress."</ref>
