House Steel Caucus


Many of the nation's brightest and most effective legislators count themselves as members of this prominent Congressional organization. Founded in the early 1970's by long-time advocates Rep. John Murtha and Rep. Ralph Regula, this bi-partisan coalition promotes the health and stability of the domestic steel industry, as well as the interests of its workforce.

The House Steel Caucus is extremely active on Capitol Hill; frequently holding policy-forums, media briefings, as well as hearings regarding issues affecting domestic steel producers and their downstream counterparts.
