And with his wife Judy, Howard Dean became a family doctor, hoping to make a difference one life at a time. He became Governor under the worst of circumstances and earned a reputation as a maverick and independent by turning a deficit into a surplus, creating jobs, raising the minimum wage twice and balancing budgets eleven years in a row. And while Washington talked, Howard Dean provided health care for nearly every child in his state and a prescription drug benefit for seniors. Now he is running for president to repeal the Bush tax cuts. restore a foreign policy that reflects American values and break the special interest gridlock to provide health insurance for every American.
