'''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." <ref>http://cei.org/pdf/5719.pdf</ref>
