Peterson, 62, won a House seat in 1990 on his fifth try. He opposes abortion rights and gun control, generally supports labor unions and farm subsidies, and opposed President Bill Clinton on his 1993 budget, NAFTA and normal trade relations with China. He co-founded the "Blue Dog" coalition of conservative Democrats.
Peterson has advocated a national sales tax to replace all income, payroll, corporate and estate taxes, and he was one of 16 Democrats to vote to add the prescription drug benefit to Medicare three years ago. He has supported President Bush's tax cuts and the invasion of Iraq.
