Dean’s bipartisan leadership lights the path to an optimistic future.
Dean leads the way.
Dean keeps his Congressional achievements quiet—choosing, instead, to remain focused on creating positive change and restoring our faith in government.
We’re inclined to shout Dean’s bridge-building accomplishments from the rooftops, however. We know his work is necessary to achieve progress on the issues we care about most.
Honored for bridging political divides.
Dean has always believed that the thoughtful way forward is to build a bigger tent—that America is served best when Republicans, Democrats, and the private sector work together. Dean walks the talk.
Twice awarded the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Jefferson – Hamilton Award for Bipartisanship.
1 out of every 3 bills Dean cosponsored was introduced by a Republican.
Ranked the 13th most bipartisan member of the U.S. House, and the 12th most bipartisan House Democrat by The Lugar Center.

Built overwhelming bipartisan support for small business relief.
In a deeply polarized Congress, Dean’s Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (PPPFA) received near-unanimous support on both sides of the aisle—and it was signed into law by a Republican president.
