About
The Freedom Caucus, also known as the House Freedom Caucus, is a congressional caucus consisting of Republican members of the United States House of Representatives. It is generally considered to be the most conservative bloc within the chamber. Formed in January 2015 by a group of conservatives and Tea Party movement members, its aim was to push the Republican leadership to the right. Its first chairman, Jim Jordan, described the caucus as a 'smaller, more cohesive, more agile and more active' group of conservative representatives. The caucus is closely aligned with the Tea Party movement.
