The State Freedom Caucus Network was founded to advance conservative legislation at state capitals across the country. Now, the group’s biggest obstacle isn’t Democrats—it’s so-called Republicans who don’t govern like it once they take office.

The State Freedom Caucus Network is a group of conservative state lawmakers determined to cut spending, secure American elections, and push state legislatures further to the right. Now the group, founded out of Congress’ House Freedom Caucus, works on everything from the 2030 census to removing Flock cameras and opposing government subsidies for data centers.

“The biggest challenge is combating Republicans that are not conservative in the state legislature,” State Freedom Caucus Network President Andrew Roth told the Daily Signal.

“Democrats in red states who want to run for office know they can’t get elected with a ‘D’ after their name, so they put an ‘R’ after their name, get elected, and then vote like Democrats,” he continued. “This isn’t a problem just in one or two states. It’s a problem in all 50 states. It’s especially a problem in red states.”

Roth said the goal of the network is to “set up state freedom caucuses in the state capitals and succeed at the state level.” The group currently has 180 members across 15 states, and many of those members plan to run for higher office.

This year, the network has its first opportunity to bring state freedom caucus members to Congress. Two State Freedom Caucus Network alums, Chuck Gray, secretary of state of Wyoming, and Blake Miguez, a Louisiana state senator, are running for Congress.

The group also has the opportunity in Arizona to have a former State Freedom Caucus Network member, U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., run the state as governor with a large freedom caucus supporting him in the state Legislature. Roth says that together they can “DOGE the entire state up and down” and pass conservative reforms.

The job of these conservative lawmakers, according to Roth, is not only to vote conservatively but also to “be loud about what’s happening in their state capital.”

“Each state is different, and each state freedom caucus has their own list of priorities. But the one thing that is constant among all of them is the budget,” Roth said. “Unlike Congress, states have the ability and the capacity to cut spending, if only they have the political will, and so our freedom caucuses lead on that.”

Thanks to the Missouri Freedom Caucus, the Legislature cut its budget by nearly $4 billion. Now, it’s lower than it was two years ago. “That’s squarely because of the Missouri Freedom Caucus,” Roth said.

Similarly, Wyoming’s and South Dakota’s budgets are as flat as they were two years ago. “Imagine if Congress had that sort of fiscal discipline,” Roth said.

He pointed to redistricting being a fight they take on all fronts. The State Freedom Caucus Network went on the offensive to get Missouri redistricted and fought in Maryland to prevent redistricting efforts there.

Roth also highlighted the State Freedom Caucus Network’s opposition to Flock cameras, saying, “Our members hate them.” He added that the West Virginia Freedom Caucus is backing a Fourth Amendment Restoration Act to restrict their use in the Mountain State.

Looking forward, he noted that big data center fights are coming next year. “[State incentives are] corporate welfare for tech companies that have billions and billions of dollars in cash. They don’t need tax dollars,” Roth said.

The Impact of the 2030 Census

Seemingly, the most important policy action on Roth’s mind is the 2030 census.

“I don’t think that people recognize the importance of it,” he told the Daily Signal.

The State Freedom Caucus Network is working to appoint a census director with a political mandate to require the 2030 census to have a question on citizenship. “We’re basically taking the SAVE Act template,” he said. The group recently sent a letter to President Donald Trump urging him to appoint a director to be confirmed by the Senate as soon as possible.

“The 2030 census is going to be a national conversation, and if we have fair, accurate census data that only counts citizens, then the Republican Party could be 260 seats [in Congress],” Roth said.

“The removal of the citizenship question from the household census form has empowered the noncitizen population count to deform congressional apportionment and state and federal redistricting,” the letter reads.

Roth’s Vision for the Conservative Network

Roth also shared his goals for growing the network of conservative freedom caucuses. He explained that the network receives an influx of requests from potential candidates hoping to join their state-affiliated caucus right before primary season, “because people want to be able to say they’re on freedom caucus before they go out and campaign.”

Already, the organization is in expansion mode, Roth says.

“I want to expand into states like Indiana, Arkansas, North Dakota, and Tennessee,” he said. “I want to take another shot at Maine. I think Maine has got a lot of potential. I think there’s a lot of conservatives up there. And we’re not afraid to go into blue states, obviously.”

Thank you to all readers and members of the Conservative Treehouse fellowship for your continued support.  Without your help this little corner of the research and discussion internet just could not exist. I will always work earnestly to be deserving of that support and fellowship. We are fortunate, blessed and protected by a loving God […]

Three women who regret taking the abortion pill are urging Dr. Heidi Overton to renew the in-person dispensing requirement on mifepristone if she is confirmed as Food and Drug Administration commissioner.

“I believed it was safe, and I put my life on the line,” Elizabeth Gillette, 39, said on Friday in an interview with the Daily Signal. “And women deserve to know that this medication is a serious medication. This is not like Tylenol. This is not like something you should be getting over the counter.”

Gillette, Haile McAnally, and Jessica Williams sat down with the Daily Signal to share their experiences with the abortion pill and what actions they would like to see the government take to protect other women and their unborn babies.

Overton, who currently serves as deputy director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, had a Senate confirmation hearing for the FDA commissioner role on Thursday. If confirmed, she will take over the abortion pill safety review to determine if mifepristone should continue being mailed to women who order it online without seeing a doctor first.

After Gillette completed the abortion pill regimen at age 24, she was horrified to see an amniotic sack the size of a tennis ball holding a recognizable human baby.

“When we realize that’s what’s happening, that is what this pill is doing, people are gonna start realizing that maybe this isn’t what we should be doing in our bathrooms, in our hotel rooms, or at all,” she said.

Gillette suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, and she expects it will continue for the rest of her life.

McAnally took abortion pills at 19. She said she was fooled by “the greatest marketing malpractice campaigns of our generation” into thinking getting an abortion wasn’t a big deal.

Because she was young and healthy, McAnally wasn’t worried about complications.

“Then as time went on, I realized that I was hemorrhaging in bathroom, and I almost died from these pills because of it,” she said. “And when I was in the clinic and they went over some of the consent forms, this was not something that they said.”

McAnally, now 33, wants women in similar situations to know they don’t have to go through with the abortion.

“I think sometimes there’s this pressure that it’s the easy way out, but there are so many resources like pregnancy help centers, the church,” she said. “I just encourage any young woman that may be put in this position … to look at the entire scope of the resources available to them.”

Williams, 39, immediately regretted taking the abortion pill and did an abortion pill reversal. She now has a healthy 4-year-old daughter.

Williams ordered abortion pills through a chatbot online, then crossed state lines to pick them up from the hotel where they were mailed. She said her husband pressured her to take the pills, and she would have benefitted from having to talk to another person who might have seen that she didn’t want to get an abortion.

“We need to have those safeguards there,” she said. “We need to have people making sure that a woman’s not being coerced or pressured into it, or that she’s in a safe situation making this decision for her choice. I think that’s really important to remember that. It’s really critical that we get these drugs out of the mail.”

Williams wants women to know that abortion pill reversal is an option for those who regret taking mifepristone.

“I have a beautiful, healthy, perfectly inside and out flawless baby girl; she’s now almost 4 because of it,” she said. “I think that women really need to have transparency and know that it’s an option. Even if we do still have this drug around, [women need] to know that they have the option for a reversal.”
