Congressional Antitrust Caucus


The Congressional Antitrust Caucus is a bipartisan congressional caucus in the United States [House of Representatives] formed in 2023. Co-founded by representatives David Cicilline and Ken Buck, the caucus is composed of individuals supportive of reinvigorating antitrust enforcement. A caucus with the same name was established during the 115th [United States Congress] in October 2017.

Background and history

According to Bloomberg, Buck and Cicilline founded the caucus in the 118th Congress in order to "keep a focus on reforming US antitrust laws to curb the power" of Amazon, Apple, Google, and Facebook parent company Meta Platforms. During the previous congressional session, a American [Innovation and Choice Online Act|bipartisan effort] championed by both members to rein in the market power of the four "Big Tech" ultimately did not pass.
In February 2023, co-chair Cicilline announced he would resign from Congress, effective June 1, 2023.
