Joe Kennedy has filed to run for US Senate in 2020
2019-08-27
If they elect him, they deserve what they get.
[NYPOST] Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.) said Monday that he is eyeing a run for the US Senate in 2020, a move that would set up a major Democratic primary fight against Sen. Ed Markey
...U.S. Representative-for-Life from Massachusetts, serving since 1976. He is a member of the Democratic Party, naturally....
"Over the past few weeks I’ve begun to consider a run for the U.S. Senate. This isn’t a decision I’m approaching lightly and ‐ to be completely candid ‐ I wasn’t expecting to share my thoughts so soon," Kennedy wrote in a Facebook post.

The 38-year-old congressman went on to write that he had not yet made a final decision, saying it would come in "the next couple weeks," after "talking to as many [Massachusetts voters] as I can."

Despite his hesitance to confirm his candidacy, Kennedy has already filed to run for a US Senate seat in Massachusetts with the Federal Election Commission, according to FEC records.

#11  Yeah - Bobby Jr lives in his own fantasy world. He is a prominent anti-vaxxer. He once sued hog producers in North Carolina (when he lived in New York). The suit was tossed for lack of standing. I am not a lawyer, but even I would have looked for at least a token NC resident who could claim "harm" from the hog farms.

#4  This guy is too far right for the current Dem base but too far left for most of the country.

But he's a Kennedy.
