A Kennedy running for Barney Frank's congressional seat.
Joe Kennedy III, grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, declares "I'm Running".
In an announcement that should surprise no one, Joseph P. Kennedy III formally declared his candidacy for Congress this morning through a video on his website in which he touted his support for the common worker and his family’s rich political bloodline.
Simply titled “I’m Running,” the 2-minute, 50-second long spot gives voters in the 4th Congressional District their first official look at Kennedy’s red hair and what he highlighted as his campaign staples: rebuilding infrastructure, a “21st century energy economy” and easing the tax burden on the middle class.
“You can always count on me to fight for small businesses, seniors, veterans and for you, to make sure you get the constituent service you’ve come to expect,” Kennedy said.
The announcement comes roughly six weeks after Kennedy said he was forming an exploratory committee. Since, he has moved to Brookline, where he is now a registered voter, and has nabbed endorsements of the local AFL-CIO and Service Employees International Union.
