Joe Kennedy III to announce bid for congressional seat held by retiring Rep. Frank
Washington Post ^ | 02/15/12

BOSTON — Joseph Kennedy III is formally jumping into the race for the Massachusetts congressional seat now held by retiring U.S. Rep. Barney Frank.

A member of the campaign who requested anonymity so as not to preempt the candidate’s announcement tells The Associated Press the Democrat is expected to make the announcement Thursday.

Kennedy recently moved from Cambridge to Brookline, part of the state’s newly redrawn 4th Congressional District.

Kennedy is the son of former U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy II and a grandson of the late Robert F. Kennedy. The family has deep ties to the Boston suburb.

Kennedy announced last month he was forming an exploratory committee to look at a possible run for the seat.

At least two other Democrats and two Republicans are considering runs.

Might want to wipe that seat before you sit down.

bad link

lines are radically different, I would say.
I was trying to find what happened to the town of Norfolk which was Bielat’s home town ... now out of district I think. Bielat could now list his home as Brookline, I have read.

Marty Farren, Paul Heroux, Jules Levine, and Herb Robinson are all minor candidates, if I have my facts straight. There might be a challenge to JKIII in the primary from the legislative crowd that sees him as an outsider & novice. One of those legislators I listed.

Norfolk is still in the 4th.

There’s a google earth file on the site also.

as a friend once noted, the kennedy family is like cockroaches - they multiply incessently. one dies and 10 take his place. fortunately darwin was correct, so each generation inherits the stupidity of the last, and in fact becomes dumber and less competent.
