| Joseph Kennedy iii |
By Joseph P. Kennedy III. (31), grandson of the murdered Robert Kennedy in 1968 († 42), wants to take over a member of the famous American dynasty for political office.
The young state attorney is a great-nephew of President John F. Kennedy († 46), who was shot in 1963 in Dallas.
U.S. media report: Joseph P. Kennedy III. is in the final stages of preparation for his candidacy. He wants to inherit the Democratic Representative Barney Frank, who is retiring.
Joseph III. from the state of Massachusetts is therefore here to commission a so-called exploratory committee to raise funds for his candidacy - a common practice in the U.S. policy. Even his dismissal he prepares.
If projects are successful, would be the first time back in a year a Kennedy in the U.S. federal policy.
Patrick Kennedy, son of the dead Kennedy patriarch Edward Kennedy († 77), retired in early 2011 from the House of Representatives. He was not taken up for re-election.
Even the death of Senator Edward Kennedy, the youngest brother of JFK, was rated in 2009 as a turning point. Reason: For the first time in decades there was no more Kennedy on a really influential posts.
