The House Liberty Caucus is a congressional caucus[a] consisting of conservative, libertarian, and libertarian conservative members of the United States House of Representatives.[2]
Prior to the formal creation of the House Liberty Caucus, Rep. Ron Paul hosted a luncheon in Washington, D.C. every Thursday for a group of Republican members of the House of Representatives that he called the Liberty Caucus.[5] The group was closely connected to the political action committee known as the Republican Liberty Caucus and "support[ed] individual rights, limited government and free enterprise".[6][better source needed]

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]
