The Blue Dog Coalition, commonly known as the Blue Dogs or Blue Dog Democrats, is a caucus of United States Congressional Representatives from the Democratic Party who identify themselves as conservative Democrats.n 2007, 15 Blue Dog Coalition Members in safe seats refused to contribute party dues to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. An additional 16 Blue Dogs have not paid any money to the DCCC but were exempt from party-mandated contributions because they were top GOP targets for defeat in 2008.
A Blue Dog Democrat is a relatively conservative Democrat in Congress, as opposed to the leftist Democrat leadership.They have organized a caucus in the House, and usually vote together on fiscal issues.f the 52 representatives that were members of 111th Congress, only 22 remain. One former Blue Dog Democrat, Kristen Gillibrand of New York, switched from the House to the Senate in 2009 after she was appointed to fill the seat vacated by Hillary Clinton, and as a result left the Caucus.
