Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd to speak at Johnson County Dems Annual BBQ
Senator Christopher Dodd (D-CT) announced he will join Johnson County Democrats at their annual barbecue. The barbecue will take place on Saturday, September 9th at the North Liberty Community Center. Senator Dodd will join Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack and local elected officials at the event.
"I'm delighted to be a part of this long-standing Democratic tradition," said Senator Dodd. "Johnson County residents know a lot about electing Democrats and their leadership will help us write a great story in November."
Senator Dodd has served in the Senate since 1980, is perhaps best known for work on children’s issues. He worked for several years to enact the Family and Medical Leave Act, a landmark bill greatly increased the options for millions of working Americans struggling to balance careers and family life. From 1995 to 1997, Dodd served as General Chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
“We are thrilled that Senator Dodd will be here to help us celebrate our candidates and our party,” County Democratic Chair Jennifer Hemmingsen said. “He is a great leader in the United States Senate, and we are very pleased he will be joining us.”
The barbecue will be preceded by a special “Hawkeye Reception” where guests will be able to watch the Iowa play at Syracuse on a big screen TV at the Community Center.
