BISMARCK – The Bastiat Caucus, an unofficial, voluntary association of legislators within the North Dakota House and Senate, is often described as an extra-conservative subgroup of the Republican legislative majority. Members say they are just Republicans and adhere to the party’s principles.
The caucus, founded by Rep. Rick Becker, R-Bismarck, is named after Frédéric Bastiat, a 19th-century French economist and writer who believed in small government and personal liberty.
Becker said he formed the caucus to be better informed and to connect with people who believe in the same platform.
“I came in (to the Legislature) completely naive,” Becker said. “I thought I was coming into a group of like-minded people but it turned out I was on an island. And so I formed the group just to be able to have communications with people and so that I wouldn’t feel isolated and feel uninformed.”
