VIDEO: Kennedy Calls Attleboro 'Heart of the District'

Several dozen supporters crammed into a small room on North Main Street Saturday afternoon for the opening of congressional candidate Joseph Kennedy III's Attleboro campaign office.

Kennedy called Attleboro "the heart of the [4th] district," which also includes Seekonk. He thanked the supporters for their help, which included canvassing the neighborhoods in the near 100-degree heat.

Kennedy, 31, is heavily favored to win the Sept. 6 primary. He will likely face Republican Sean Bielat in the November general election. 

People of note who attended the event included Attleboro City Councilors Jeremy Denlea and Walter Thibodeau as well as former Seekonk Selectman Bill Rice.

Kennedy's campaign office is located at 7 North Main St. Suite 215A.
