Children's Health Care Caucus
The caucus advances legislative initiatives that provide access to health coverage, ensure preventative care, seek cures for debilitating diseases and chronic conditions, and promote healthy living habits for America’s children.
Federal Budget
Our country is operating under significant economic stress and a contributing factor is the dire fiscal condition of federal and state governments.
Law Enforcement Caucus
The Law Enforcement Caucus is a bipartisan working group of Members of Congress who seek an open forum to address issues affecting the law enforcement community.
Safe Communities
Our local law enforcement officers are serving on the front lines of the war on terror, gangs, and drugs. We must ensure they have the resources they need to continue to keep our children and homes safe.
Trade
We must also consider what our country stands to lose by failing to implement trade agreements while competitors like the European Union, Canada, and China race ahead to aggressively knock down trade barriers and increase their own market share.
What is the Congressional Goods Movement Caucus?
The Goods Movement Caucus was created to recognize the difficulties that our transportation industry face while transporting goods across America.
