The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) is a national 527 group and subsidiary of the Republican Party that aims to build and maintain a Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives through contributions to Republican candidates and political organizations. The group is headquartered in Washington, D.C.[1][2]
The NRCC's website describes it as "a political committee devoted to increasing the number of Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives."[1] As of September 2021, the NRCC chairman is Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.).[3]

The NRCC was founded in 1866 by the Republican caucuses of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.[1] According to the NRCC website, the committee:
| “ | ...supports the election of Republicans to the House through direct financial contributions to candidates and Republican Party organizations; technical and research assistance to Republican candidates and Party organizations; voter registration, education and turnout programs; and other Party-building activities."[1][4] | ” |
The NRCC's campaign contributions are targeted towards supporting vulnerable incumbents, bolstering new recruits, and flipping battleground seats. NRCC programs include:
Patriot Program
Launched in 2009, the Patriot Program provides funding and support to incumbent members of the U.S. House running for re-election in battleground districts. Members of Congress who receive support from the Patriot Program must commit to meeting fundraising and organizational benchmarks.[5]
GOP Young Guns
Launched in 2007, the Young Guns program recruits and supports challengers running for U.S. House seats in battleground districts. Candidates must meet certain fundraising and organizational thresholds as they progress through the program's three tiers: On the Radar, Contender, and Young Gun.[6]
Both Democrats and Republicans have three major party committees. The national committee's purpose involves oversight of the presidential nominating process as well as supporting party candidates with research, polling and funding in races across the country. Each party also has two Hill committees, one each for the House and Senate, which are dedicated to helping elect candidates from their party to Congress and helping incumbents win re-election.
During the 2018 election cycle, these six committees were each among the top 10 spenders in congressional elections with a combined $1.3 billion in spending.[7] During the 2020 campaign cycle, the same six party committees—three Democratic committees and three Republican committees—raised a combined $2.650 billion ($1.510 billion across the three Republican committees and $1.140 billion across the three Democratic committees).
On February 10, 2021, the NRCC released an initial list of 47 House Democrats whose districts it would target in the 2022 elections.[8] On May 4, 2021, the NRCC added ten additional districts to its target district list.[9] On November 3, the NRCC added thirteen additional districts to its target district list.[10] The table below lists target districts and incumbents leading up to the 2022 elections. Also included is each district's margin of victory in the 2020, 2018, and 2016 elections. Races in 2022 will be held with new district maps drawn after the 2020 census.

Candidates running for office in open or Democratic-held House seats are eligible for the Young Guns program.

The NRCC released its initial list of targeted Democratic incumbents on February 8, 2017.[18]
The NRCC released the initial members of the Patriot Program on February 15, 2017, and subsequently announced additions to the program thereafter. The Patriot Program is designed to help raise money and assist vulnerable incumbents seeking re-election.[19][20][21]
The NRCC selected 31 U.S. House candidates for the first level of the “Young Guns" program for 2018. "We look forward to working with these candidates to grow our Republican majority and enact policies that help hard working Americans," said NRCC Chairman Steve Stivers in a statement.[22]
The Patriot Program is designed to help raise money and assist vulnerable incumbents seeking re-election. NRCC Chairman Greg Walden said of those in the program, "Our new Patriots have just shown that they know what it takes to run aggressive, organized, and winning campaigns. They have hit the ground running here in Washington and are tirelessly working hard to help grow the economy and fight for the hard working families and small businesses in their districts. I am proud to call them colleagues and am looking forward to helping ensure that they are able to win re-election and continue to serve beyond 2016."[26]
The NRCC circulated a petition directed at House Democrats to reaffirm their commitment to the Affordable Care Act. The act was expected to impact the 2014 mid-term elections. The petition read, "I have been a strong and consistent supporter of ObamaCare...The law may be incredibly unpopular as people in my district are kicked off their health care plans and watch as their premiums and costs skyrocket, but I still support this law — and commit that I will continue to support it through Election Day."[28]
The Patriot Program was designed to help raise money and assist vulnerable incumbents who sought re-election.[29]
The following table displays members of the Patriot Program in 2014.
