Ted Kennedy Jr. Tosses Hat Into CT State Senate Race
The Branford resident — and son of the late Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy — has announced he's running for the CT State Senate District 12 seat.
It's official: Ted Kennedy Jr. has tossed his hat into Connecticut's political arena.
The Branford resident — and son of the late and longtime serving Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy — announced early Tuesday evening at the Blackstone Library he is running for the shoreline's District 12 state senate seat.
The seat — which includes Branford, Guilford, Durham, Killingworth, Madison and North Branford — currently is held by Ed Meyers.
The Democrat, a Guilford resident, has held the post since 2005.
Last month, however, Meyers announced his retirement, leaving the spot open for a new shoreline politician to take the helm.
And so far, no one but Kennedy has officially announced they are running for Meyer's soon-to-be vacant post in the Connecticut General Assembly.
