Grijalva grabs Progressive Caucus top spot

U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Tucson) has been elected to become co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, along with Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.). The two defeated Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.).

"I believe it is time for our Caucus to move to the next level and continue to advance our progressive agenda in an effective and pragmatic manner,” Grijalva said in a statement following Wednesday's vote. “By being independent, inclusive, issue and solution based and unified in our policy decisions – we will be more effective.”

The Congressional Progressive Caucus counts 80 House members and one senator, Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who founded the caucus as a representative in the early 1990s. It speaks for the liberal wing of the Democratic congressional caucus. And with a former member, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as speaker, and a liberal-leaning Democrat in the White House, its voice is expected to grow louder in the 111th Congress.
