Rep. Abigail Spanberger Democratic Whip |
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick Pennsylvania, 1st District “I learned early on during my time with the FBI the importance of working together toward a common goal. Since I first decided to run for Congress, I have been determined to break the gridlock in Washington that frustrates everyday Americans across our country. Working with No Labels and serving as the Vice-Chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus has put me in a unique position to positively impact the way we are able to legislate and find common ground. We must continue to work together to find solutions to the issues our nation is facing. I’m proud to be fighting to fix our broken healthcare and immigration systems, rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, and repair the American people’s confidence that our leaders can work together to build a better country.” |
Rep. Dean Phillips Minnesota, 3rd District “Too many in Congress and our country have retreated to corners, and it’s time to re-engage in conversation.

Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler Washington, 3rd District |
Rep. Thomas Suozzi New York, 3rd District |

Fred Upton Michigan, 6th District “The Problem Solvers Caucus -with Republicans and Democrats from across the country – represents hope for many who wish to see Congress act in a more respectful way that focuses on solutions and results rather than on winning partisan fights and mean-spirited debates. A vibrant democratic republic depends on vigorous discussion – but also recognizes the importance of compromise and coming together, and that’s what this group is all about.” |

Don Bacon Nebraska, 2nd District “My goal as a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus is to find areas of consensus with the other side of the aisle so we can make progress on the critical challenges facing our country.

Rep. Michael Bost Illinois, 12th District "As a Marine, a firefighter, and a small business owner, I learned the importance of working together to achieve real results.

Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux Georgia, 7th District |
Rep. Salud Carbajal California, 24th District “There is more that unites than divides us, and no single party has a monopoly on good ideas. During my tenure as a Santa Barbara County Supervisor, I worked across the aisle in order to modernize our infrastructure and secure funding for children's health insurance. As a Member of Congress, I have championed bipartisan legislation on topics ranging from veteran's benefits to gun violence prevention. My constituents sent me to Washington to achieve real progress, and the Problem Solver Caucus allows me and my colleagues to break down party barriers and work together to achieve results on the issues facing our county at this critical time.” |
Rep. Lou Correa California, 46th District |
Rep. Jim Costa California, 16th District “We must cut through partisan rhetoric and divisiveness. Working together across the aisle is the only way we can work to pass legislation that benefits all Americans.” |
Rep. John Curtis Utah, 3rd District |
Rep. Debbie Dingell Michigan, 12th District “The American people are tired of the partisan bickering and gridlock that’s prevented Congress from addressing issues impacting hardworking men and women. Too often we retreat to our familiar corners to talk with people who think like us, unwilling to engage with those with different views. Our responsibility in Congress is larger than that. We made an obligation to deliver for those who sent us to Washington – that means working in a bipartisan manner. Unity – not division –makes our country strong. As a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus, we work every day to bring members together and bridge the partisan divide.” |
Rep. Mike Gallagher Wisconsin, 8th District “The American people deserve a government that works together. Our constituents didn’t elect us to sit around and argue on cable news, and despite this politically-charged environment, I’m committed to working with my colleagues to find areas of bipartisan agreement.” |
Rep. Andrew Garbarino New York, 2nd District |
Rep. Jared Golden Maine, 2nd District |
Rep. Tony Gonzales Texas, 23rd District |
Rep. Anthony Gonzalez Ohio, 16th District “Congress has a responsibility to the men and women of this country to come together in a bipartisan manner to solve our biggest challenges. That is why I am proud to be a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus and dedicated to working with my colleagues on new and innovative ideas that can move our country and our economy forward.” |
Rep. Vicente Gonzalez Texas, 15th District “In an era of divided government and divisiveness, it’s easy to think the challenges we face are insurmountable, dig your heels in, and retreat. But our constituents sent us here to deliver. I am proud to be a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus – a consortium of individuals who roll up their sleeves, push past partisanship, and get results for the American people. Bipartisanship isn’t always easy but it certainly isn’t impossible. This group proves that.” |
Rep. Jenniffer Gonzalez-Colon Puerto Rico, At Large |

Rep. Steven Horsford
Nevada, 4th District “I joined the Problem Solvers Caucus because my constituents are counting on me to deliver for them. Before starting my career in politics, I led Nevada’s Culinary Training Academy and worked with people from all backgrounds to train Nevadans for good jobs in the hospitality industry. As Majority Leader in the Nevada Senate, I built a bipartisan coalition to rescue our state from a budget crisis. Now, in the House of Representatives, I’ve been proud to work across the aisle to create good jobs, protect working people, and build a bright future for families in Nevada’s Fourth District and across the country.” |
Rep. Chrissy Houlahan Pennsylvania, 6th District |
Rep. Bill Johnson Ohio, 6th District “It’s tough enough to get important things done in Washington, but it’s even tougher if the two sides won’t even sit down to talk. The Problem Solvers Caucus affords us that opportunity. I’ll continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to find common ground on policy areas where there’s general agreement, like the need to improve America’s infrastructure, addressing drug addiction, and creating more opportunities for Americans to pursue the American Dream. Not everything needs to be viewed through a partisan lens, and I’ll keep working to move the ball forward for those I represent.” |
Rep. David Joyce Ohio, 14th District “Americans deserve a good-faith effort from their elected officials to drop the partisan bickering and work together to solve the challenges facing our nation. My colleagues and I on the Problem Solvers Caucus pride ourselves on leaving politics at the door and listening to our constituents. When we fairly evaluate ideas outside of our own ideology, we not only encourage effective lawmaking, we also ensure that when we do disagree, we can do so respectfully. Regardless of where you land on the political spectrum, I think we can all agree that the current blue team versus red team mentality is preventing us from addressing our nation’s problems and the American people are paying the price. I am proud to be a part of this group of lawmakers who work across the aisle to prioritize the needs of their constituents.” |
Rep. John Katko New York, 24th District “Since coming to Congress in 2015, I have always sought to work with my Democratic colleagues across the aisle. The Problem Solvers Caucus serves as a vehicle for Republicans and Democrats to craft impactful legislation addressing critical issues facing Americans across the country. For far too long, partisan gridlock in Congress has prevented elected officials from delivering legislative results and I am thrilled to work with members of the Problem Solves Caucus to create effective, bipartisan solutions.” |
Rep. Young Kim California, 39th District |
Rep. Conor Lamb Pennsylvania, 17th District |
Rep. Susie Lee Nevada, 3rd District “I ran for Congress because I knew that I could bring my approach to solving problems here in Nevada to Washington and work with anyone to get results for families. When I ran non-profits, I had to look at the problems facing our community and find a path forward regardless of who was a Democrat or Republican or non-partisan, which is why I’m proud to join the Problem Solvers Caucus. This Caucus is committed to finding common ground and creating common sense solutions to issues working families are facing every day.” |
Rep. Elaine Luria Virginia, 2nd District “People in the Navy come from a variety of backgrounds and have different points of view, but we worked together to accomplish the mission at hand. I am proud to take that same approach to Congress, and that’s why I’m so glad to have joined the Problem Solvers Caucus – the title of our bipartisan group defines exactly what we were elected to do.” |
Rep. Tom Malinowski New Jersey, 7th District |
Rep. Peter Meijer Michigan, 3rd District |
Rep. Dan Meuser Pennsylvania, 9th District |
Rep. Stephanie Murphy Florida, 7th District “On issues like infrastructure, debt and deficit, health care, or election security, the Problem Solvers Caucus has a unique role in creating the bipartisan coalitions that can deliver results for working families. This is a group that’s focused on healing the deep partisan wounds that have prevented us from moving forward as a country. In a divided government, Problem Solvers will continue to reach across the aisle to get things done for the American people.” |
Rep. Tom O’Halleran Arizona, 1st District "I believe that neither political party has all the answers, and Congress owes it to the American people to thoroughly debate thoughtful proposals that will address the issues our constituents are facing. Partisan gridlock has prevented us from doing that. As a member of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, I am committed to representing my constituents by working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle and finding real solutions." |
Rep. Jimmy Panetta California, 20th District “Long-term solutions do not necessarily come from just one person or party, but often require bipartisan collaboration. That’s how real, sustainable improvements can be made to our nation’s most pressing challenges. This caucus provides that forum for Members from across the aisle to work together on solutions to the problems facing our country." |
Rep. Scott Peters California, 52nd District “It is an honor to represent the 52nd District of California, including Poway, Coronado, and large portions of the City of San Diego in Congress. As a member of House Energy & Commerce and Budget Committees, I understand that solutions to our nation’s biggest problems have to be bipartisan, in order to be sustaining for the long term. That’s why I’m committed to work with everyone to build consensus and get things done; and that’s always been my approach, when I served as an environmental attorney, as City Council President, as Port Commission Chairman, and now, in Congress.” |
Rep. Tom Reed New York, 23rd District "As the youngest of 12 raised by a single mother on a Social Security check and military death benefits after my father passed away when I was two, I learned that people work best when working together. That’s why I’m proud to co-chair the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus to solve some of the most divisive issues facing our country today. Our commitment to creating sound policy is propelled by our belief that it takes a little give and take to get things done. Obstruction is easy but getting to ‘yes’ through bipartisanship and listening is the people’s work." |
Rep. Tom Rice South Carolina, 7th District |
Rep. Brad Schneider Illinois, 10st District “The American people want representatives who work across the aisle to make progress for our communities. The Problem Solvers Caucus brings together members willing to put solutions ahead of partisanship on the major issues we face, from lowering the cost of health care and rebuilding our infrastructure to making Congress more responsive and effective.” |
Rep. Kurt Schrader Oregon, 5th District “As a founding member of the Problem Solvers Caucus, I am proud of the breadth of work we have accomplished as the only bipartisan working group in the House of Representatives. Now more than ever, it is encouraging to be a part of a group that is committed to getting to “yes” and putting country above party to do what is right for the American people.” |
Rep. Elissa Slotkin Michigan, 8th District “Throughout my 14 years working in national security, no one ever asked if I was a Democrat or Republican –– because we were focused on the mission. I’m so proud to be part of the Problem Solvers Caucus, a group of lawmakers –– with equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans –– who employ that same bipartisan, mission-focus by working together on legislation that matters to people’s families and to their pocketbooks. Our collective work on the Never Forget the Heroes Act to extend the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund and restore full rights to victims is an example of just how powerful that cooperation can be, and I look forward to working on other important bills that put people before politics or party.” |
Rep. Chris Smith New Jersey, 4th District |
Rep. Darren Soto Florida, 9th District “I came to Congress to deliver results for our Central Florida constituents. Being a Member in the Problem Solvers Caucus helps me accomplish just that. We’ve already made significant changes to break the gridlock in Washington. We will continue to work in a bipartisan manner to move America forward!” |
Rep. Pete Stauber Minnesota, 8th District “As Americans, our commonalities far outweigh our differences. We all want to see the cost of healthcare lowered, our crumbling infrastructure modernized, and our communities made safer. I am proud to work with my fellow members of the Problem Solvers Caucus to find commonsense solutions to the most pressing issues facing the nation.” |
Rep. Bryan Steil Wisconsin, 1st District When I came to D.C. for new member orientation, there were two buses: one for Republicans and one for Democrats. Partisanship is too engrained in Washington. Congress needs to focus on achieving results for the American people and moving the country forward. |
