The House Freedom Caucus is preparing for a significant transition next year as several of its most prominent members leave Congress to pursue higher office.

That creates uncertainty about the direction of the influential conservative bloc while opening the door for a new generation of leaders, The Hill reported on Monday.

At least six Freedom Caucus members are set to depart the House after launching campaigns for statewide office.

Rep. Andy Biggs, a former caucus chairman, is running for governor of Arizona.

Reps. Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Byron Donalds of Florida and Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin are seeking governorships in their respective states.

Rep. Barry Moore is running for the Senate in Alabama.

And Rep. Chip Roy recently lost his Republican primary bid for Texas attorney general.

The departures will remove several lawmakers who have been at the center of some of the House GOP's most contentious legislative battles in recent years.

Roy, Norman and Biggs played key roles in fights over government funding, spending cuts and House rules, including the demands that contributed to former Speaker Kevin McCarthy enduring 15 ballots before securing the gavel in 2023.

Despite the turnover, Freedom Caucus leaders insist the group's commitment to fiscal conservatism and its willingness to challenge Republican leadership will remain unchanged, the Hill reported.

"We're going to have plenty of members," said Maryland Rep. Andy Harris, the current chairman of the caucus. "We have incredible enthusiasm among people who are running around the country and who have won primaries. We'll have plenty of people to lead the charge."

Harris, whose term as chairman expires at the end of the year, said younger lawmakers are already emerging as future leaders of the group, including Reps. Brandon Gill and Keith Self, both of Texas, and Eric Burlison of Missouri.

Self said he would like to support the next generation of Freedom Caucus members as the organization prepares for a leadership transition.

The caucus will also retain several veteran members, including founding Chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio, who has long argued that the group's mission is to ensure Republicans deliver on campaign promises.

Still, some members acknowledge concerns about losing several of the caucus' most recognizable figures.

"It's terrifying," said Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado. "We're losing the greats."

The transition comes as the Freedom Caucus continues to define its relationship with President Donald Trump and House Republican leadership.

While caucus members have occasionally clashed with Trump on policy matters, including surveillance changes tied to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, many argue the group remains the most aligned with Trump's America First agenda.

"The Freedom Caucus is America First more than anyone else, as far as I'm concerned," Self said. "We want the president's agenda to be activated by the House of Representatives, and often it is not."

The caucus' relationship with House leadership has also evolved dramatically since its founding in 2015.

Created largely in opposition to then-Speaker John Boehner, the group frequently battled Republican leaders over spending and legislative priorities.

Under Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana, however, Freedom Caucus members say they have become more collaborative, viewing him as a conservative ally rather than a political adversary.

The organization is also looking toward a new crop of conservative candidates expected to join Congress next year. Potential future members include Texas state Rep. Steve Toth, who defeated Rep. Dan Crenshaw in a Republican primary; gun-rights advocate Brandon Herrera of Texas; attorney and Air Force veteran Jace Yarbrough, also of the Lone Star State; and former Arizona sheriff Mark Lamb.

The group's influence in the next Congress could depend heavily on the outcome of the midterm elections.

If Republicans retain control of the House, members say they will continue focusing on shaping legislation and extracting policy concessions.

If Republicans lose the majority, the caucus could return to a more oppositional role.
