Ted Kennedy Jr. to run for Connecticut state Senate

Written By Unknown on Senin, 07 April 2014 | 23.16

WASHINGTON — Another Kennedy is jumping into the family business — but this one is starting small.

Ted Kennedy Jr. — the son of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy — is expected to announce Tuesday that he'll run for the state Senate in his home state of Connecticut, a media outlet in his hometown of Branford reported.

Kennedy plans to announce at a local library that he'll try to replace a retiring Democrat, the Branford Seven Web site reported, citing sources with knowledge of Kennedy's plans.

Kennedy has had opportunities to run for bigger prizes before, including the US Senate seat from Massachusetts that became vacant when his father died in 2009.

But Kennedy, 52, has instead kept a relatively private life.

He runs a Manhattan-based healthcare consulting business called the Marwood Group, which employs more than 100 people.

He got a graduate degree at Yale's School of Forestry and earned a law degree, and gained recognition for delivering an emotional eulogy at his dad's funeral.

His right leg was partially amputated at the age of 12 following bone cancer.

His bid would make him part of a Kennedy mini-resurgence in politics. His nephew, Joe Kennedy III, was elected to a Massachusetts House seat in 2012, filling a Kennedy void in Congress that hadn't existed for 60 years.
