Like a storm of locus it has returned. A Kennedy wants to be in Congress.
Kennedy III explores a run for Frank’s seat
Edward M. Kennedy’s death in 2009 and his son Patrick’s retirement from Congress prompted speculation that, with no other family member left in a high profile public office, the Kennedy legacy had run its course. But 31-year-old Joseph P. Kennedy III may prove them wrong.
Kennedy, son of the former congressman and grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, has taken the first official steps toward launching a congressional run to replace retiring Democrat Barney Frank.
He has created an exploratory committee and announced his resignation from his job as a prosecutor in the Middlesex district attorney’s office.
Senior Democratic sources who have talked to Kennedy said that he has already concluded that he will run for the Democratic nomination to represent the redrawn Newton and Brookline-based district that extends to parts of Fall River, though Kennedy said he will make a decision about entering the race in the coming weeks.
I do not wish ill of the man but he should be no where near any real power. He is trying to reestablish a beach head of a political dynasty founded the the wealth of a bootlegger who bought the 1960 presidential election. Jack Kennedy went in unprepared for what he would face and that led to the Bay of Pigs. But more than that his selection of Lyndon Johnson unintentionally led to his LBJ presidency, the worse administration in the history of the republic (IMHO).
A bit of a tear but I'm no fan of the Kennedy clan. They just need to go away to the non-profit industry and complaint about a snail or something else more useful. The family business in not politics but power. And we need to insure that business is closed.
