Congressional Blue Dog Coalition

The Congressional Blue Dog Coalition is a group of Democratic members of the U.S. Congress who emphasize fiscally responsible policies, prioritizing compromise, moderation, and pragmatic approaches to governance. They aim to balance progressive ideas with concerns about government spending and accountability, often advocating for budget discipline, responsible taxation, and policies that support economic stability. The Blue Dogs typically work across party lines to find common ground on issues such as healthcare, national security, and economic growth, representing a centrist, pragmatic voice within the Democratic Party.
