Sen. Dodd, D-Conn., is in his fifth term in the U.S. Senate and previously served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. He is co-author of the Family and Medical Leave Act and now chairs the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Committee. He has been endorsed by the International Association of Fire Fighters, a group that helped propel Sen. John Kerry to a 2004 Iowa Caucus victory.
Dodd will be the fourth presidential candidate to participate in the series of forums sponsored by Drake and IowaPolitics.com. The series is designed to educate the public about the candidates and Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses.
