History
editThe 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] The caucus has a fund to support their members.[7]
