U.S. Senator Chris Dodd Unveils His Plan for Education


On Thursday afternoon at the Betts Center on the campus of the Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC), U.S. Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut and candidate for U.S. President, unveiled his plan for education. I was honored to make the introduction for this long-time advocate for children and public education.



The event was scheduled in the middle of the day with all area school staff back in their buildings for work days, the Senator drew a most impressive crowd of enthusiastic potential caucus goers.


Senator Dodd's shared with those gathered his plan for "Restoring America’s Competitive Edge—Strengthening America’s Schools from Pre-School to College". For a copy of the full plan, go to

Senator Dodd said something that really stuck with me, "Iowans like to pick a winner, I ask you to make a winner" as he asked for our support. Senator Chris Dodd is certainly worthy of consideration as we make the decision on the candidate to support!
