--- Quote ---Members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus sponsored more than $900 million worth of earmarks over the last two years, according to a study conducted by OpenTheBooks.com and published on Thursday.

While the Freedom Caucus does not publicly list all of its members, OpenTheBooks based their study off of the list of 49 lawmakers that Pew compiled as lawmakers who have publicly identified as members of that particular caucus.

The group's study included data from spending bills that were passed by Congress after January 2023 and signed into law by President Biden.

The earmarks total for 2023 from 8 Freedom Caucus members was $447.8 million. The average spent was $56 million, according to the results of the study.

The earmarks total for 2024 from 22 Freedom Caucus members was $508 million and an average of $23.1 million. The total resulting from the study over both years was $957 million.
