The Congressional Progressive Caucus on Thursday elected its leaders for the next term, including Rep. Greg Casar as chair. 'The members of the Progressive Caucus know how to fight billionaires, grifters, and Republican frauds in Congress. Our caucus will make sure the Democratic Party stands up to corporate interests for working people,' said Casar , who will replace term-limited Rep. Pramila Jayapal . 'I'm honored to build on the legacy of Chair Jayapal,' Casar continued.
