Populist Caucus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Populist Caucus refers to two short-lived caucuses that have been formed within the Democratic Party caucus in the United States House of Representatives. The first caucus was formed in February 1983 by 14 Democrats, primarily from rural areas.[1] The second caucus was created in March 2009 by Democrat Bruce Braley of Iowa, who named the first caucus as a direct inspiration.[2] The caucus included at least 33 members of the House, all of which are from the Democratic Party.[3][4][5][6]
