Reps. Jamie Raskin, Lloyd Doggett, Chuy Garcia, Delia Ramirez, Jill Tokuda, Robert Garcia and Lateefah Simon appointed to serve on the 2026 CPC PAC Executive Board
WASHINGTON — The Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC (CPC PAC) is proud to announce that members have elected Reps. Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), Greg Casar (TX-35), and Maxwell Frost (FL-10) to serve as CPC PAC co-chairs for the 2026 election cycle.
Congressional Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Pramila Jayapal will continue her leadership role with the CPC PAC, having served as a PAC co-chair since 2017. Newly-elected PAC Co-Chairs Maxwell Frost and Greg Casar served on the CPC PAC Executive Board during the 2024 cycle.
Co-Chairs Jayapal, Casar, and Frost thanked Reps. Mark Pocan and Jamie Raskin for their many years of leadership with the PAC, having served as co-chairs since 2017 and 2019, respectively. The PAC has grown from a $300,000 budget in the 2016 election cycle to raising $12 million over the past three election cycles.
“Reps. Mark Pocan and Jamie Raskin have brought an incredible amount of leadership and vision to the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC during their time as co-chairs,” said Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC Co-Chair Pramila Jayapal. “Congressman Pocan worked tirelessly to oversee the day-to-day operations of the PAC for many years, and helped build the PAC into an organization that has raised and invested millions of dollars in supporting and electing progressive candidates around the country. Congressman Raskin has been on the frontlines of major progressive battles to take back our democracy and support the PAC to raise the funds and the awareness of our work. We are thrilled that Congressman Raskin will continue to serve on the PAC board. We owe a debt of gratitude to both of them for helping us grow the CPC by nearly 25% and ensuring that, when we’ve endorsed in primaries, the CPC has been the only ideological caucus to send a majority of our endorsees to Congress. That work has led to the strength of the CPC’s push to organize a bloc of votes to ensure passage of major progressive legislation in Congress and our caucus is eternally grateful for their work.”
“I won my first primary with the support and dedication of the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC, so I am thrilled to join the CPC PAC as a co-chair this cycle to cultivate the next generation of progressive leadership in Congress,” said Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC Co-Chair Maxwell Frost. “As co-chairs, Pramila, Greg and I will expand the ranks of the CPC and take back the House majority by identifying and supporting principled candidates who will campaign and win on a bold progressive, pro-working class agenda to deliver the change Americans want and deserve. I know progressive leadership is necessary in order for us to reach the American people so the Democratic Party can retake the majority.”
“It is no secret that the Democratic Party is in need of reform. The members of the Progressive Caucus, who have boldly stood up to special interests and advocated for better wages, housing, childcare, and peace, are best equipped to lead that transformation,” said Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC Co-Chair Greg Casar. “Mark my words: we are going to elect new progressive members of Congress in both blue and red seats to win a Democratic majority that works for working people.”
The incoming CPC PAC Co-Chairs also announced that Reps. Jamie Raskin, Lloyd Doggett, Chuy Garcia, Delia Ramirez, Jill Tokuda, Robert Garcia and Lateefah Simon were appointed to serve on the 2026 CPC PAC Executive Board.
