ANOTHER Kennedy is about to run for public office. At his Newport fund-raiser the other night, Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) told a Page Six spy his brother, Ted Kennedy Jr., who lives in New Haven, is eyeing a Connecticut congressional seat. “Patrick says support for his brother is building, and Ted Jr. was recently praised for his and his wife’s environmental work by Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal,” our source added. Meanwhile, Patrick has passed on backing Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama for president in favor of Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) - not surprising, as Dodd is a longtime family friend and supporter of Patrick’s mental-health agenda.
Kennedy is a Democrat and a New Haven resident. Unless there’s a pending retirement no one knows about, the only seat Kennedy would be considering a run for would be against Chris Shays in the CT-04.
Does anyone know anything about Ted Kennedy Jr?
