[citation needed] Rep. Amo Houghton of New York was the founder and chairman emeritus of the Republican Main Street Partnership.
[2] The Partnership was formed following the 1994 United States House of Representatives elections in which conservative Republicans were swept into power.
[6][better source needed] The Partnership had a notably adversarial relationship with the fiscally conservative Club for Growth.
[citation needed] Upon its formation, the Caucus stated that it would prioritize "'strong, conservative principles related to economic and national security policy'".
The Partnership's chief executive officer, Sarah Chamberlain, said that $6 million had been spent on 2018 campaigns and that the remaining $722,000 was set aside for 2020.
Members of the Caucus expressed concern that Chamberlain's compensation was 20 percent of the Partnership's operating expenses.
