Blue Dogs: Driving Public Policy in the 110th Congress

The Blue Dog Coalition is a pivotal group of 44 pro-business Democrats in the US House. With Democrats now holding majorities in both Houses of Congress, the Blue Dogs will provide the swing vote on many issues and will be major players in determining the Democratic agenda. To assess the impact the new Congress will have on business, Arnold & Porter brought together more than 300 clients and friends for an interactive discussion with four of these key Democratic leaders.

Speakers:

• Congressman John Tanner (TN)
  Member of Ways & Means
• Congressman Allen Boyd (FL)
  Member of Appropriations
• Congressman Mike Ross (AR)
  Member of Energy & Commerce
• Congressman-Elect, Baron Hill (IN)
• Moderated by former Congressman Jim Turner
  Partner, Arnold & Porter LLP and former Co-Chair of the Blue Dog Democrats

*The event was also simultaneously broadcast to clients in our Los Angeles and New York offices as well.
