The Republican Governance Group, originally the Tuesday Lunch Bunch and then the Tuesday Group until 2020, is a group of moderate Republicans in the United States House of Representatives.[9] It was founded in 1994 in the wake of the Republican takeover of the House; the Republican House caucus came to be dominated by conservatives.[3]
In 2007, the Tuesday Group founded its own political action committee.[10] The name of the PAC was "Tuesday Group Political Action Committee" but has since changed to "Republican Governance Group/Tuesday Group Political Action Committee". It is based in Tampa, Florida.[11]
Another major group of Republican moderates in Congress was the Republican Main Street Caucus, which existed briefly from 2017 to 2019.
