Senator Dodd Running for President
-- Katie -- 01/11/2007
Senator Dodd (D-CT) was on the Don Imus show early this morning to announce that he is skipping the exploratory phase that many candidates go through and will be filing papers to run for president today. Dodd will be in interviews this afternoon and travels to Iowa tonight to begin his campaign.
Dodd has discussed the need to find solutions to global warming several times during his career in the Senate. On Earth Day 2006, Dodd said "the critically important challenges of global warming, and threats to our rivers and air can't be ignored and need to be addressed." When he announced his candidacy, Dodd brought up energy as a key issue in his campaign. In the past, he has also mentioned the importance of conservation and finding alternative sources of energy such as biofuels, wind and solar power. We will provide updates here when he discusses global warming in his campaign.
