Republican Governance Group

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.[6] 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.[7] It is considered a center[3][4][8] to center-right congressional caucus, with its members primarily from competitive House districts.[7][9]

Not to be confused with Tuesday Club.
