The co-chairs in the 116th Congress are Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva of [[Arizona]] and [[Lynn Woolsey]] of [[California]]. Most members represent big-city districts, especially in the Northeast and West Coast. Most were elected in [[single party control]]ed districts. Since the term "liberal" is out of fashion, they use "progressive." The Caucus was founded in 1991. Several members are [[Princeling]]s, or children of former [[communist]] [[bureaucrat]]s and functionaries. No Republican has ever belonged.
