Allen Boyd was sworn into office on January 7, 1997, as a Democratic member of the 105th Congress representing Florida's 2nd Congressional District. The District spans 16 counties, from South Walton County, through Tallahassee, almost reaching Jacksonville, making up the largest geographic Congressional district in the state. This area of North Florida is distinctly rural yet surprisingly diverse. The regional economy is as reliant on small fishing villages and rural farming operations as it is the higher education and state government communities of Tallahassee.

Congressman Boyd is a leader of Congress' Blue Dog Coalition, a group of 38 Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives who advocate fiscal responsibility in the Federal budgeting process. They are centrist legislators working to build consensus between the two parties in Congress to find workable solutions for the most pressing budget issues. The Blue Dogs have been called upon to lead the House to a comprehensive fiscal policy anchored in federal debt reduction for America and tax relief for all citizens. Boyd was instrumental in the successful efforts by Congress to reach the historic 1997 Balanced Budget Agreement. He has been a leader of the coalition since his election to Congress in 1996. During his first term, Boyd led the charge to reform our federal campaign finance laws by serving as a member of the Freshman Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Task Force. The hard work of Boyd and his colleagues finally came to fruition in March of 2002 when President Bush signed sweeping reform of the campaign finance system, the result of several years of bipartisan cooperation.

James Creel "Jim" Marshall (born March 31, 1948) is an American politician, and has been a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives since 2003, representing the 8th District (formerly numbered as the 3rd District) of Georgia (map). The district is based in Macon and includes much of rural Middle Georgia.
The son and grandson of army generals, Marshall was born in Ithaca, New York, but moved frequently during his childhood and graduated from high school in Mobile, Alabama. He entered Princeton University in 1966, but left college in 1968 to enlist in the United States Army. He served in Vietnam as an Airborne Ranger reconnaissance platoon sergeant and earned two Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart. (Marshall was recently inducted into the Army Ranger Hall of Fame.) He returned to Princeton in 1970 and graduated in 1972. Marshall worked various jobs for two years before entering law school at Boston University, where he earned his J.D. in 1977. He practiced law, taught at Mercer University's Walter F. George School of Law in Macon, and from 1995 to 1999 served as mayor of Macon before running for Congress.
Marshall lives in Macon with his wife Camille Hope, the daughter of National Hurricane Center meteorologist John Hope. The couple has two children, Mary and Robert.

Tierney considers himself a strong voice for the middle class. The representative is a member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce and has introduced legislation that would make college more affordable.

[edit] Background

Source: Congressman Steny Hoyer website

Congressman Steny H. Hoyer represents Maryland’s Fifth Congressional District, which includes Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s counties and portions of Prince George’s and Anne Arundel counties. A resident of Mechanicsville serving his 14th term in Congress, Congressman Hoyer became the longest-serving Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Maryland in history on June 4, 2007.
In November 2006, Congressman Hoyer was elected by his colleagues in the Democratic Caucus to serve as House Majority Leader in the 110th Congress. His election as Majority Leader – which is the second-highest position in the House – makes him the highest-ranking Member of Congress from Maryland in history.
Congressman Hoyer's experience, know-how and strong work ethic have led to increasing responsibilities within the House Democratic leadership. Prior to serving as the Whip in the 108th and 109th Congresses, he served as Chair of the Democratic Caucus - the fourth-ranking position among House Democrat - from 1989 to 1995. He is the former Co-Chair (and a current member) of the Democratic Steering Committee, and served as the chief candidate recruiter for House Democrats from 1995 to 2000. He also served as Deputy Majority Whip from 1987 to 1989.

Alexandra "Alex" Gallardo-Rooker

1st Vice-Chair (Southern California)

Born in Mexico City, Alex has traveled far and accomplished many things. Her family moved to the United States when she was young and settled in Southern California.

Upon graduation, she went to work for Pacific Bell and joined the Communications Workers of America, Local #9400. This is where she became active in the labor movement, her life's work. During her 18 years with the union, Alex worked her way from shop steward to area steward. Her incredible dedication to her fellow employees paid off and she was elected to the Executive Board of CWA #9400.

Alex personally understands the hardships many working people experience. She is a single mother and became a naturalized American in 1990. Her sensitivity to the needs of immigrants and working women has added to her leadership qualities.

According to the Associated Press [1], "Anna Burger, secretary-treasurer of the Service Employees International Union, has switched her voter registration from Pennsylvania to the District of Columbia"

It is worth noting that SEIU has now endorsed Obama. Given Anna Burger's quote in the SEIU's endorsement of Sen. Obama, it seems safe to assume she is supporting him as well:

Anna Burger, SEIU’s Secretary-Treasurer, said, "This is one of the most important presidential elections workers have faced. Families are struggling, we’re fighting two wars, and a majority of Americans are now worried that their children will be worse off than they are. Obama is the right person at the right time to lead the change we so desperately need in our country."

Brian Melendez was elected as State Chair of the Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party on May 21, 2005. Melendez has been active in politics for almost two decades. Before his election, Melendez chaired both the Minneapolis DFL Party (1999–2005) and DFL Congressional District 5 (2004–05).


As State DFL Chair, Melendez leads one of the nation’s largest grassroots-based state political parties with 100,000 active supporters. He is also Minnesota’s lead representative on the Democratic National Committee (DNC).


Melendez considers himself a Democrat for two main reasons: his life experience, and his faith. When he was growing up, his family lived in a trailer park in a national forest. But because of the Great Society’s federally funded student-loan program, his future wasn’t limited by his family’s finances, but was instead shaped by his educational opportunities. He wants that same opportunity for every child.


Melendez earned his bachelor’s degree with honors from Harvard College in 1986, writing his senior honors thesis on “Presidential Disability and Succession”; his law degree from Harvard Law School in 1991, writing on “Districting a Diverse Society”; and a master’s degree in Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School in 1991, concentrating in ethics.


Melendez lives in Minneapolis and is a partner at the law firm Faegre & Benson LLP, the second-largest law firm in the Upper Midwest. He was named by Minnesota Lawyer magazine in 2002 as one of the Top Ten Attorneys of the Year. He takes seriously the task of finding balance and perspective among the competing demands of his political, professional, and personal lives: a “couch potato” who watches two hours of television nightly and has read a book a week since childhood, he also runs two to three a marathons a year. Melendez is a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Minneapolis.
