In 1993, Condit angered the [[Democratic Party]] when he opposed seven of President [[Bill Clinton]]'s budget initiatives. A strong advocate for the elimination of unfunded federal mandates, one of his major accomplishments was the enactment of the 1994 Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. He also staunchly supported a consumer advocacy bill designed to protect consumers from deceptive mailings and sweepstakes. In 1995, Condit became a founding member of the Blue Dogs Coalition'a group of moderate-to-conservative Democrats whose agenda includes protection of the [[Social Security]] Trust Fund, a [[balanced budget]], as well as campaign finance and [[welfare]] reform</blockquote><ref>"Gary Adrian Condit."
