InfoWilliam Joseph "Bill" Dodd held some half dozen important positions in Louisiana government in the mid-twentieth century, including the offices of state representative, lieutenant governor, state auditor, president of the State Board of Education, and state education superintendent, but he never achieved his ultimate goal: the state's powerful Napoleonic-style governorship. Twice Dodd failed to win the pivotal Democratic gubernatorial nomination: 1952 and 1959.
