The Problem Solvers Caucus was formed in 2017, growing out of the centrist organization No Labels. It is built around party balance: its membership is roughly half Democrats and half Republicans, and it is led by two co-chairs, one from each party. Founding co-chairs were Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey and Tom Reed of New York. Membership has generally run between about fifty and sixty members.
Like the Freedom Caucus, it uses a bloc-voting rule, but a bipartisan one: when three-quarters of the caucus, including a majority of each party's members, endorse a position, all members are expected to vote together. It has pushed House rules changes to make it easier for bipartisan bills to reach the floor, and its members helped draft frameworks for the December 2020 coronavirus relief package and the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law.
Supporters see it as a counterweight to polarization and a bridge between party leaders. Skeptics argue that its members usually vote with their own parties on the most contested measures and that its influence depends on narrow margins and outside allies. In the 119th Congress it is co-chaired by Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Tom Suozzi of New York.
