Mission

The Congressional Future Caucus is our nation's first and only bipartisan caucus for young members of Congress. 

These members come together across partisan lines to creatively and pragmatically forge common ground on issues facing America's next generation, such as higher education, entrepreneurship, and veteran’s employment. In 2018, the Congressional Future Caucus prioritized economic innovation, Congressional reform, and cybersecurity.

Future Caucus members also engage in nonpartisan outreach to Millennials and build key generational relationships across the aisle. The Caucus consists of over thirty Congressional members.

““The Future Caucus is an antidote to so much of the cynicism and partisanship we usually see.””
— Ronan Farrow, MSNBC
