HARTFORD, CT (AP) – Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal says he decided to seek the U.S. Senate seat of fellow Democrat Chris Dodd so he could fight against scams and special interests.
Blumenthal announced his decision to run Wednesday at Democratic headquarters in Hartford, just hours after Dodd announced that he would not be seeking a sixth term in November.
Dodd has been dogged by lagging poll numbers for months.
Blumenthal has been Connecticut’s attorney general since 1990. He has gained a national profile by challenging Big Tobacco and its alleged marketing to children and the Web site Craigslist and its erotic ads that he said promote prostitution.
Recent polls show the 63-year-old Blumenthal is one of the most popular politicians in Connecticut.
