Members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus elected new leadership to steer the caucus at a time of unease and uncertainty within the Democratic Party following disappointing losses in the November election.

The unanimously elected team, unveiled at a Dec. 5 press conference, will be chaired by Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas), with Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) as deputy chair and Rep. Chuy Garcia (D-Ill.) as whip.
