Sobre IBD

Imagine members of Congress who don’t crave media attention. Imagine people who are so beloved within the institution that negative sentiment is non-existent. Finally, imagine folks for whom reaching across the aisle to craft comprehensive legislation is second nature. In Beloved Workhorses, one doesn’t have to imagine. A number of former members of the U.S. House of Representatives encompassed all three traits and thrived. Why? Because they were salt-of-the-earth men and women with remarkable personal stories. Beloved Workhorses portrays them.

  • Last of Its Kind - First of This Kind
    Scott Crass
    It was a tale of two cycles. The 1990 Senate election landscape rewarded popular incumbents and was largely devoid of national themes. There were colorful, headline grabbing moments and a near-shocker or two yet all but one Senator seeking another term was granted it. The 1992 landscape had no such clarity. A downward economy sparked the call for new ideas and backlash from the...

  • Departures on the House
    Scott Crass
    The word 'change' stormed onto the political lexicon in 1992 when Democratic Presidential nominee Bill Clinton aimed to deny George H.W. Bush a second term. Often overlooked, however, is that 'change' also caused a ruckus in Congress. Redistricting, a check overdraft scandal that consumed the chamber and overall frustration with the system produced a wild and woolly year that s...
