Blue Dogs Welcome Rep. Crist
Today, the Democratic Blue Dog Coalition welcomed new member Congressman Charlie Crist (D-FL).
"Congressman Crist's strong background in public service, working across the aisle to forge relationships to help the people of Florida, will add value to the Blue Dog Coalition's efforts. He cares deeply about putting our nation on a sustainable fiscal path to ensure our nation's national security and increase economic opportunities for all Americans," said Congressman Jim Costa, Co-Chair of the Blue Dog Coalition. "In the 115th Congress, the Blue Dogs will continue to advocate for policies that make sense for working families and all Americans, and Congressman Crist's voice will undoubtedly add to our cumulative efforts."
"Congressman Crist's record and values are a natural fit for the Blue Dogs," said Congressman Henry Cuellar, Co-Chair for Communications of the Blue Dog Coalition. "We look forward to working with him to advance the common sense solutions Americans are counting on."
"I look forward to joining the Blue Dog Coalition, working to promote fiscal responsibility, a strong national defense, and greater civility in Washington," said Congressman Crist.
