With his common sense and practicality he will bring an issues-oriented approach to representing the interests of Tennessee's citizens weather they be democrat or republican. He has long been known for his bipartisan support as shown from the fact he received an average of 80 percent of votes cast during his five elections to the US House. As a member of the Blue Dog Coalition, a group of moderate and fiscally conservative Democrats, Ford has strived to promote positions that bridge the gap between ideological extremes. Leadership like that and Congressman Ford's burning desire to equally serve all of Tennessee's citizens by making Tennessee and America better places to live and raise a family can only mean good things are coming into view just over the horizon in November 2006.
