After the
112th Congress began and Ron Paul switched his focus to his presidential campaign, his luncheon was replaced by a formal
congressional member organization. That member organization was named the House Liberty Caucus and was initially chaired by
Justin Amash.[7][8] The House Liberty Caucus was joined by Republican members who wanted to "focus on specific issues like
economic freedom,
individual liberty, and following the
Constitution".[2] During his time in
Congress,
Jared Polis of Colorado was the only
Democratic member of the caucus.[9] The caucus has been characterized as "conservative with a libertarian emphasis" and was associated with the
Tea Party movement.[3] In June 2014, the caucus supported
Raúl Labrador's campaign for House Majority Leader.[10][11] In February 2019, Politico reported that the House Liberty Caucus had eight members.[12]
As of November 2023, Rep. Warren Davidson is listed as the leader of the Congressional Liberty Caucus.[1]
