Congressional Hispanic Caucus

What Congressional Hispanic Caucus does

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) is a Congressional Member organization within the U.S. House of Representatives, founded in December 1976 by five Hispanic Members of Congress — Herman Badillo (NY), Baltasar Corrada del Río (PR), Eligio "Kika" de la Garza II (TX), Henry B. González (TX), and Edward R. Roybal (CA). It functions as a legislative service organization governed by the Rules of the U.S. House, providing Hispanic Members of the House Democratic caucus a coordinated forum to advance a shared legislative agenda on issues affecting Hispanics in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. In the 119th Congress it stands at 42-44 Members and is currently chaired by Rep. Adriano Espaillat (NY-13).

The CHC's product surface is institutional rather than commercial. Its core "deliverables" are legislative outputs — House resolutions (e.g., the July 2026 democracy-reforms resolution co-led with the CPC, CBC, and CAPAC), joint Tri-Caucus statements (e.g., the June 30, 2026 statement on birthright citizenship), Chair-level public statements on immigration and TPS, oversight visits, and convenings with executive-branch officials. Supporting infrastructure consists of the official website (chc.house.gov) built on standard House content-management systems, a newsletter subscription service, an RSS feed, and social media presence on X (@HispanicCaucus) and Facebook. The caucus also runs the "CHC on the Road" initiative, partnering with the Biden-Harris Administration to deliver Cabinet-level engagement into Latino communities across multiple states (documented stops include Austin, TX and Deming/Las Cruces, NM).

The CHC does not generate commercial revenue. It is a federal legislative entity with approximately 7 staff, no external investors, no shareholders, and no traditional ownership structure. Its operating model is funded implicitly through the House of Representatives and its influence is exercised through the legislative process — resolutions, public statements, oversight hearings, and direct executive-branch engagement. Its strategic value lies in three durable assets: regulatory standing as a formal House caucus, 45+ years of brand and institutional memory as the premier Hispanic legislative voice, and a coordinated coalition via the Tri-Caucus (with CAPAC and CBC) that mobilizes 105+ members on shared civil rights, voting rights, and immigration priorities.

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus is a legislative service organization within the U.S. House of Representatives that provides a unified legislative voice for Hispanic Members of Congress to advance priorities affecting Hispanic and Latino communities in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. It develops and coordinates legislative action through resolutions, oversight visits, public statements, executive-branch engagement, and the 'CHC on the Road' initiative, and serves as a forum for Hispanic Members to coalesce around a collective legislative agenda on immigration, civil rights, voting rights, healthcare, education, economic development, and small business support.

Product overview

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) operates primarily as a legislative service organization rather than a technology product company.

The website supports communication through newsletter subscriptions, RSS feeds, and social media integration with X (Twitter) and Facebook. The CHC is organized as a Congressional Member organization governed by the Rules of the U.S. House of Representatives, dedicated to voicing and advancing issues affecting Hispanics in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands through the legislative process.
