Sen. Dodd's nephew joins congressman's team

Posted by J. Todd Foster on March 23, 2016

Owen Dodd, the nephew of former Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), has joined Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.) as his legislative correspondent.

Dodd was a government affairs associate at Capitol Strategies Group for one year before joining Larson and interned for former Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) in 2011-12.

He earned his master's in international relations and affairs from New School in 2013 and a bachelor's in U.S. history and anthropology from the University of Montana in 2005.

Owen Dodd's great uncle was the late Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, Chris Dodd's father and a Connecticut Democrat who served from 1959-71. His aunt, Jackie Clegg Dodd, the wife of former Sen. Chris Dodd, worked briefly as a legislative aide last year for the Senate Democratic Conference Committee. Owen Dodd's cousin, Abbey Dodd, is a former lobbyist for Verner, Liipfert, Bernhard, McPherson and Hand and is now a senior manager at Campbell Soup Co.
