From 2001 to 2010, he served as president of The New School, a university in New York City. In May 2010, he was selected to become the head of the Motion Picture Association of America, but he and the MPAA could not reach an agreement, so former Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd was chosen instead. In 2012, Kerrey sought election to his old Senate seat to succeed retiring Democratic incumbent Ben Nelson. He lost to Republican nominee Deb Fischer. In 2013, Kerry joined the Carmen Group lobbying firm."@en . . . . . "53318"^^ . "35"^^ . . . "400561"^^ . . . . . . . . "Senate/Bob_Kerrey.htm"@en . "908"^^ . . . "Medal of Honor ribbon.svg"@en . . .
