The House Freedom Caucus is urging Republican leaders to prioritize conservative policies before Democrats take over Congress in January. In a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, the caucus expressed concerns that their agenda had stalled and requested action within the next 60 days to protect their constituents.
• The caucus wants to use the reconciliation process to pass legislation focused on debt, spending, and tax relief, advocating for defense funding to prevent Democrats from expanding welfare programs.
• They propose significant tax relief measures, particularly for healthcare, and insist on cutting federal spending by at least $1 trillion to address these proposals.
• Additional requests include codifying Trump’s border security policies, passing permitting reforms, a ban on stock trading by government officials, voter ID legislation, and confirming Trump’s judicial nominees.
• The caucus insists that no member should leave until these objectives are achieved.
Following significant Republican losses in the 2026 midterms, the letter illustrates the urgency and commitment from the Freedom Caucus to achieve these goals before the current Congress ends.
