House Democratic Caucus

The House Democratic Caucus is a congressional caucus made up of all Democratic representatives in the United States House of Representatives, voting and non-voting, and is responsible for nominating and electing the Democratic Party leadership in the chamber. 

The caucus writes and forces rules of conduct for its members, approves committee assignments, and serves as the main meeting space for party policy and legislative priorities.
