Blue Dog Coalition

Congressman Joe Baca, the U.S. Representative from California's 43rd District, has recently been recognized by the Blue Dog Coalition for his ongoing commitment to restoring responsibility and accountability to government.

“After years of soaring budgets under the Bush administration and the Republican Congress, the Blue Dog Democrats are helping to restore fiscal sanity in Washington. I am proud of the work we have done to create fiscally responsible legislation that meets the needs of the American people – legislation like the Farm Bill, which will help to feed the 38 million Americans who do not have enough to eat.” Read more...
