The Blue Dogs are leaders in Congress who are committed to pursuing fiscally-responsible policies, ensuring a strong national defense, and transcending party lines to do what’s best for the American people.</p> <p>The name “Blue Dog” was inspired by the famous Blue Dog paintings by Cajun artist George Rodrigue. The term is also based on the long-time tradition of referring to a strong Democratic Party supporter as being a “Yellow Dog Democrat,” who would have “sooner voted for a yellow dog than a Republican.” The founding members of the Blue Dogs said they felt that they had been “choked blue” by the extremes of both political parties, leading to the Coalition’s name.</p> <p>Currently, the Blue Dog Coalition is comprised of moderate, fiscally-responsible Democrats who represent every corner of the country and continue to work to end the divisive and toxic nature of politics today. They have a long history of working with members of both parties to find areas of compromise and to advance public policies that benefit the entire nation.</p> <p>The Blue Dogs are not beholden to any political party leadership, but rather the constituents they represent.</p> </div> </div> <div id="members" class="fullwidth"></div> <div id="our_members" data-scroll-speed="0"> <div id="members_grid" class="bodywidth bodysection group" class="fullwidth"> <h2 class="section_header">Our Members</h2> <li class="member_list"><a class="member_single" href="http://www.sanfordbishop.com/"><img width="300" height="300" src="https://bluedogdems.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Bishop-300x300.png" class="member_photo wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" srcset="https://bluedogdems.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Bishop-300x300.png 300w, https://bluedogdems.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Bishop-150x150.png 150w, https://bluedogdems.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Bishop.png 463w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><h2 class="member_name">Rep.
