Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) issued a statement today in response to Sen. Chris Dodd’s (D-CT) announcement that he will not seek reelection in 2010. Here’s the full text:
“He was a legislator par excellence, combining the best of the old school and the best of the new school. As he resumes a career outside the Senate, he can take satisfaction in knowing that millions of lives have been made better by his hard work and legislative acumen.
“As a friend and as a legislator I will miss him.”
