Christopher John Dodd (born May 27, 1944), is an American politician. Dodd, a Democrat, has been a U.S. Senator from Connecticut since 1981. He is son of former Senator Thomas J. Dodd, also from Connecticut.
Born in Willimantic, Dodd graduated from Providence College in 1966. He served as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic from 1966 to 1968 and graduated from law school at the University of Louisville in 1972. In 1974, Dodd was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Connecticut's second congressional district. He was reelected twice, serving from January 3, 1975 to January 3, 1981. In November 1980, Dodd was elected to the U.S. Senate, and was subsequently reelected in 1986, 1992, and 1998. His seat is again up for reelection in the 2004 Senate election. Most political forecasters believe he will be easily reelected.
