Blue Dog Democrat

Blue Dog Democrat is an informal term for a Democrat from a southern state in the United States having a record of conservative voting. The term was derived from the name of a coalition, the Blue Dog Coalition, of Southern Democrats formed in 1995 in the US Congress, comprising members from the Democratic Party who identified as centrists or conservatives. The caucus or the coalition professes an independence from the leadership of both parties and promotes national defense.
