Bipartisan Lawmakers Launch Congressional Free Enterprise Caucus

U.S. Representatives August Pfluger (R-TX), David Valadao (R-CA), Brad Schneider (D-IL), and Lou Correa (D-CA) have launched the bipartisan Congressional Free Enterprise Caucus to promote economic growth, fiscal responsibility, and regulatory reform.

What is the Congressional Free Enterprise Caucus?

A bipartisan group of lawmakers has launched the Congressional Free Enterprise Caucus, a new House caucus focused on advancing policies that support free markets, strengthen economic growth, and preserve America's long-term competitiveness.

According to its founders, the caucus will serve as a forum for bipartisan discussions on policies designed to improve economic opportunity and encourage private-sector growth.

What are the caucus's priorities?

The caucus outlined three primary policy goals:

Sustained Economic Growth: Members support policies aimed at achieving and maintaining economic growth of at least 3%.

Fiscal Responsibility: The caucus argues that rising national debt can limit future economic opportunities and should remain a central consideration in policymaking.

Smart Regulation: Members advocate for regulations that protect consumers while allowing businesses to innovate, invest, and compete globally.

What are lawmakers saying?

Rep. August Pfluger: "The Free Enterprise Caucus is designed to be that kind of forum, where Members from both sides of the aisle can come to the table, share their perspectives, and find common ground on free enterprise policies."

Rep. David Valadao: "Free enterprise has long been the foundation of American prosperity."

Rep. Brad Schneider: "The free enterprise system has been a major engine of American prosperity for generations of Americans."

Rep. Lou Correa: "Washington has an obligation to bolster economic prosperity and upward mobility for all Americans."

The Bottom Line

The congressional Free Enterprise Caucus seeks to build bipartisan support for policies centered on growth, fiscal discipline, and regulatory reform while promoting long-term American Economic leadership.
