The Kennedys are officially back into the family business.
Joseph Kennedy III, a scion of the famous political family, announced Thursday that will run for the Massachusetts House seat being vacated by Rep. Barney Frank (D).
Congressman Frank has done so much for Massachusetts and America during his service in Congress and he leaves very big shoes to fill, Kennedy said in his announcement video for the 4th district. I believe this country was founded on a simple idea: that every person deserves to be treated fairly, by each other and by their government.
He promises to fight for a a fair job plan, a better educational system, a fair tax code and fair housing policy.
The grandson of Robert F. Kennedy and son of former Rep. Joseph Kennedy II, the 31-year-old Kennedy was working as a prosecutor and before that as an assistant district attorney in Massachusetts. He also seerved as a Peace Corps volunteer. His twin brother Matt worked on the late Sen. Ted Kennedys last reelection campaign.
Should he win, he will be the only Kennedy in Congress a decades-long line that was broken when Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) died in 2009 and Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) retired in 2010.
