DODD ANNOUNCES NEVADA CAMPAIGN CHAIR
NEVADA -- The Dodd for President Campaign today announced the endorsement of Nevada State Senator John Lee. Lee will serve as the Statewide Chair of Senator Dodd's campaign in Nevada.
"Chris Dodd's lifetime of selfless service to this country leaves no doubt in my mind that he is the right person to lead our party and our country," said Lee. "As the author of the Family and Medical Leave Act, as well as the FIRE and SAFER acts, Chris Dodd's leadership has improved the lives of thousands of Nevadans, and millions of Americans."
"That record of leadership, coupled with his bold plans for bringing our troops home from Iraq, combating global warming, and calling a new generation of Americans to service - makes clear to me that Chris Dodd is the Democratic candidate best positioned to win in 2008, and lead our country at this critical moment in our history," said Lee.
Lee is a member of the Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America and served in the Nevada State Assembly before his election to the State Senate.
"John Lee and his family embody the best Nevada, and America, have to offer," said Senator Dodd. "From his mother's service in the Peace Corps to John's work with the Boy Scouts, their commitment to improving their community has never wavered. I am honored to call John a friend and to have his support in my presidential campaign."
