The Democratic Policy Committee (DPC) was established in January 1947, after President Truman signed legislation to create majority and minority party policy committees in the Senate. Under the leadership of Chairman Byron L. Dorgan and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the DPC has been a dynamic part of the Senate leadership.
Since its creation over sixty years ago, the DPC has served Senate Democrats by developing new policy proposals, providing research and legislative support, publishing reports on important legislation and policy issues, conducting oversight hearings, tracking roll call votes, differentiating Democratic policy positions from Republican positions, and promoting Caucus unity and cohesion.
