Bio
Boyd was born on June 6, 1945 in Valdosta, Georgia, was educated at Florida State University, served in the United States Army in Viet Nam, and was a farmer and a member of the Florida House of Representatives before entering the House.
Congressman Boyd is a leader of the Blue Dog Coalition, "a group of 35 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.... Boyd was instrumental in the successful efforts by Congress to reach the historic 1997 balanced budget agreement."[1]
Boyd believes that "in order to grow the economy and achieve long-term stability, government must act as a catalyst, not an obstacle, for empowering companies to grow and thrive in a changing world market. He believes that government should provide an economic model for businesses to follow in order to stimulate growth. That central belief has earned him endorsements over the years from the United States Chamber of Commerce and the fiscal watchdog group, the Concord Coalition."[2]
