Who Are the Mysterious Members of the House Freedom Caucus?

[Geee]

Heritage Foundation:

With over 40 members and no official roster, the House Freedom Caucus—a conservative group in the U.S. House of Representatives that pushed for House Speaker John Boehner to leave office—consists of a core group of leaders going against the Washington establishment.

 

After the start of the 114th Congress in January 2015, nine members of the House Republican Conference joined together to found the House Freedom Caucus.

 

A statement released on Jan. 26 said the House Freedom Caucus was formed “to advance an agenda of limited, constitutional government in Congress.”

 

“The House Freedom Caucus gives a voice to countless Americans who feel that Washington does not represent them,” the group’s mission statement reads. “We support open, accountable and limited government, the Constitution and the rule of law, and policies that promote the liberty, safety and prosperity of all Americans.”
