A Kennedy for Connecticut governor?
By Neil Vigdor Updated 10:20 am, Sunday, March 26, 2017
His name opens doors, but comes with the burden of lofty political expectations: Ted Kennedy Jr.
Now in his second term as a state senator, the Branford Democrat and disability advocate is said by multiple sources to be strongly leaning toward a run for governor in 2018.
A person close to Kennedy put the chances at “90 percent” that the health care lawyer and son of the late “liberal lion” Edward M. Kennedy jumps into the race, capitalizing on his name recognition and a potential vacuum if fellow Democrat Dannel P. Malloy opts not to seek a third term as governor.
Kennedy, 55, declined an interview request, but issued a statement to Hearst Connecticut Media demurring about his gubernatorial plans and calling it an honor to serve in the state Senate, where he is co-chairman of the Environment Committee. He is the nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy.
“If other opportunities to serve were to arise, I would consider them,” Kennedy said. “But right now, I am focused on my legislative agenda to strengthen our state finances, bring jobs back to our state, protect our environment, promote disability rights and preserve access to health care.”
