Richard Blumenthal (born February 13, 1946 in Brooklyn, New York) has served as the Attorney General of Connecticut since 1991 and is a member of the Democratic Party. He is running for retiring Chris Dodd's Senate seat in the 2010 election. Previously he was a member of the Connecticut House of Representatives and State Senate.
In 2007, the libertarian-leaning Competitive Enterprise Institute ranked Blumenthal "the nation's worst state attorney general" and "a tireless crusader for growing the power of his own office and spreading largesse to his cronies." [1]
