| Republican Women's Caucus | |
The Republican Women's Caucus (RWC) is a congressional caucus composed of female Republican members of the United States Congress.[1] It was established in 2025 during the 119th United States Congress and is co-chaired by Representative Kat Cammack and Senator Katie Britt.[2]
The caucus consists of Republican women serving in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.[3]
The Republican Women's Caucus was announced on March 26, 2025, by Representative Kat Cammack of Florida and Senator Katie Britt of Alabama.[2] The caucus was launched at the White House during Women's History Month.[3]
The caucus was created as a bicameral organization bringing together Republican women in Congress to coordinate legislative priorities and expand their role within party leadership.[2]
Mary Bono had previously founded the Republican Women's Policy Committee (RWPC) on May 22, 2012.[4] After Bono lost reelection that fall, Renee Ellmers took over as chair.[5] Ellmers lost her 2016 primary, and the RWPC was not reformed at the end of her term.[6]
