WASHINGTON—Serious questions are being raised about the staffing arrangements and organizational structure of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), the largest ideological affinity group in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The 97-member CPC’s co-Chairs are Reps. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) and Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.). Virtually every prominent liberal Democrat in the House is a CPC member, including rising left-wing stars Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).
