Dodd Won't Run for Re-Election

After spending half his life in Congress, Connecticut's Senior Senator says enough is enough and bets everything on his presidential campaign.

Congressional Quarterly reports Senator Dodd, “is no longer a candidate in the 2010 election for the United States Senate in Connecticut.”

This allows Dodd's Senate campaign committee, Friends of Chris Dodd, to transfer excess funds to Dodd's presidential campaign committee, Chris Dodd for President Inc. His Senate campaign committee reported $1,855,961 cash-on-hand as of 9/30.
