The House Conservatives Fund (HCF) is a non-connected federal PAC supported by more than 100 fiscally and socially conservative Members of Congress who seek to elect the next generation of conservative leaders. Congressman Patrick McHenry serves as the Honorary Chairman of the HCF.

Our mission is two-fold:

1. To regain the Republican majority in Congress.
2. To assure that principled conservatives are elected (and re-elected).

When evaluating candidates, the House Conservatives Fund considers economic and social issues. We are focused on finding candidates who support fiscal responsibility, lower and simpler taxes, fewer obstacles to job creation, a smaller and more efficient federal government, a strong national defense, and the protection of traditional family values.

We at the House Conservatives Fund are dedicated to the following conservative ideals:

• We believe it is essential that the government be limited and within the realm of Constitutional guideline; not the guidelines of activist judges.
  
  
• We believe that our military should be the best and greatest force in the world. Our soldiers have fought for the freedom of oppressed peoples for generations and we should make sure that they are equipped to do so for the generations to come.
  
  
• We believe that one of the cornerstone ideas of our country's founding was the belief in personal property rights and we will support those who fight to make sure your rights are always protected.
  
  
• We believe that our constitution protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms for security and defense of self, family, property, as well as for other lawful purposes.
  
  
• We believe that it is essential to uphold the traditional family values that have long been a part of our great nation. Strength in the family helps to strengthen our nation.
