Established in 1997, the Baltic Caucus is comprised of Members of the U.S. House of Representatives who share a common interest in the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and I are proud to serve as chairmen.

As you know, the Baltic States were occupied and forcibly integrated into the Soviet Union from 1944 until 1991 when they reasserted their independence, adding to the domino effect that led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. These three countries demonstrate to the world how a country can emerge from the curtain of tyranny and become a thriving democracy.

That is why the caucus works diligently to advance Baltic freedoms. Our goals are to maintain strong relationships with the Baltic States, promote healthy democracies free from terrorism, and assist them in strengthening free market economies in their countries.
