Caucuses 

Vice Chairman of the Congressional Western Caucus
The mission of the Western Caucus is to enhance, sustain, and preserve the West’s dynamic and unique culture, and to find innovative solutions that address the distinctive concerns facing western and rural communities. We believe economic growth and conservation are not mutually exclusive goals and can be accomplished by promoting balanced, common-sense reforms.

Co-founder of the Congressional Small Business Caucus
Members of the Congressional Small Business Caucus are dedicated to advancing efforts to foster the economic certainty needed for small businesses and entrepreneurs to succeed and create jobs. 

Congressional Small Brewers Caucus
Small brewers have been making beer in America since the founding of our country. We're glad that craft beers from nearly 2,000 small breweries across the United States can be enjoyed today. The bipartisan House Small Brewers Caucus is dedicated to educating Members of Congress and their staff about legislation, regulations, and other unique issues faced by small American breweries.

We are focused on discovering environmentally-friendly ways to produce natural gas and explore the ways natural gas can help meet our country’s energy needs while leading us towards an independent energy future.

Religious Minorities in the Middle East Caucus
This bipartisan caucus serves as an informational and advocacy tool for besieged religious minorities who are central to a pluralistic Middle East. Every day religious minorities in countries throughout the Middle East are confronting serious threats, ranging from discrimination and marginalization, to outright violence. Churches have been burned, millions of families have been driven from their homes, and many have been killed. Because of the spread and influence of ISIS, the persecution of religious minorities is as relevant as ever, and it’s imperative that the persecution of religious minorities is recognized and alleviated.
