The Congressional Western Caucus is a bipartisan congressional member caucus focused on issues affecting rural America and the American West, including agriculture, energy, public lands, water, forestry, and private property rights.
Typically supports policies favoring domestic energy production, streamlined permitting, rural economic development, agriculture, active forest management, multiple-use public lands, water rights, and limits on federal regulatory overreach.
Primarily supported through congressional office resources and member participation rather than outside fundraising.
Members of the U.S. House of Representatives from western and rural districts; current leadership has included Doug LaMalfa and other western House members.
