Jackie Dodd, wife of Senator Dodd, recently stopped off in Las Vegas for an old fashioned BBQ—and the weather here in Las Vegas was even bearable for an August evening outdoors!
State Senator John Lee (a ONE supporter) introduced me to Mrs. Dodd and she quickly took the white band my 2 year old daughter Gabby offered and said “Oh you must know how good my husband is on your issues.” As the mother of 2 small girls herself, she reiterated both she and Senator Dodd’s commitment to making sure that children all over the world have access to the things they need to stay healthy.
I also had the opportunity to thank Mrs. Dodd for her husband’s work in the Senate. He’s been a leader on the Global Child Survival Act, a legislative priority for ONE members.
