The freedom to pursue a college education and be released from dependency on foreign fuels are two of Democratic presidential hopeful Christopher Dodd’s aspirations for the future of the United States.
And for his two little girls.
“I’m the only candidate that gets mail from the American Association of Retired Persons and diaper service,” said Dodd, 63, Friday evening at Muscatine Community College.
Dodd of Connecticut, is a senior Democratic leader in the United States Senate and known for bringing attention to children’s issues.
His daughter Grace, 5, was born two days after the Sept. 11, 2001 Terrorists Attacks on the United States East Coast.
He and his wife Jackie have another daughter, Christina, 2. Dodd said his daughters and future generations are on his mind as he considers the future of the economy and the environment.
“I want to see our country do better,” said Dodd. “A lot of people say our best days are behind us. I don’t believe that.” . . .
