Ted Kennedy Jr., son of the late U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy, is making his first bid for political office in Connecticut. But the campaign has not been without some controversy.
A little late in the game, at age 53, Democrat Ted Kennedy Jr. said he’s finally ready for the family business.
The nephew of President John F. Kennedy’s running for a state senate seat in Connecticut. He’s been a health care lawyer and an advocate for the disabled and the environment.
His opponent, Republican Bruce Wilson Jr., has accused Kennedy of exploiting a loophole in the state’s campaign finance law. Kennedy maintains he’s run a clean campaign from the start.
The candidates are vying for Connecticut’s 12th district, which includes the shoreline towns of Branford, Guilford and Madison.
