Thanking Senator Dodd
Just a few hours after the exciting announcement that the Cardin-Lugar Transparency amendment had passed the Senate, I was walking by the Capitol when I ran into none other than the Chairman of Senate Banking Committee himself, Senator Chris Dodd!
On behalf of all ONE members, I was able to congratulate and thank the senator for his support and leadership in person! He told me that he “loves ONE” and thanked us for our advocacy efforts, emphasizing what a BIG victory the transparency amendment is in the fight against poverty. We’re grateful to Senators Dodd, Cardin, Lugar and other champions who fought hard for the world’s poorest people.
