After graduating with his degree in government from Colby College, he was hired by the Bruges Group in England, where he sought to keep debate on European issues center stage by commissioning and publishing independent research and by holding meetings and conferences to discuss relevant issues.\u00a0 The think tank\u2019s patron is former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. \u00a0He completed a postgraduate degree in UK\/European politics from Hull University.<\/p>\n

Dodge survived stage 3 colon cancer and is now 5 years cancer-free.\u00a0 He got married in 2007, the same year that he overcame colon cancer after serious post-operation complications.\u00a0 Prior to his recent U.S. Senate run for office, Dodge was an activist in Maine\u2019s Tea Party movement, organizing the first tea party event in Maine.\u00a0 In 2009, Dodge did an 8000 mile\/26 day speaking tour\/drive from Maine to Fresno (and back) to raise awareness for tea party issues & the plight of the farmers in Central Valley CA.<\/p>\n
