Serious question: How do caucus' get funding? Or do they have to use existing staff from the budget they've been allotted as normal reps?

Yes, most caucuses get corporate PAC money. And some pool money allotted to members for staff. CPC does that. It has also started raising outside money recently, though I would think not from corporate pacs. They get some labor money.
