U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy, D-Newton, is holding a town hall forum at Camp Jabberwocky on Sunday from 11 am to 12 noon to answer questions about himself and his campaign for U.S. Senate.
“These town halls will be open to all and allow voters the opportunity to meet Kennedy and ask him questions regarding his candidacy, positions and priorities,” a Facebook post about the event reads.
Kennedy, the grandson of former U.S. senator and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, launched his Senate campaign against Democratic incumbent Ed Markey in September. The two will face off in the 2020 Democratic primary.
The Vineyard town hall is one of 14 Kennedy is holding across Massachusetts.
…no doubt to also lay a wreath at Dyke Bridge?
I don’t think he’s responsible for something that was done by a relative before he was born.
Yawn….tired
James– it must be nice to be in a family that has not had a single relative do something stupid in the last 50 years.
I did something incredibly stupid once…I voted for a democrat.
TQ– I voted for Jerry Ford. I was impressed that he had the courage to pardon Nixon. it was not a popular thing to do, but it was good for the country to just move on from the corruption and the mess of the Nixon administration.
Having said that, I doubt my nephew, who was born in 1981 will receive much criticism from his liberal friends for my decision to do that.
James’s comment is about as mature and as relevant as one might expect from a third grader.
I also voted for Charlie Baker, as well as other republicans over the years. I vote for who I think will do the best job addressing my values, and representing me — I care about what politicians stand for, and how they conduct themselves. It just so happens that the great majority of the time, those politicians happen to be democrats.
And I did an incredibly stupid thing once also. I voted for Jimmy Carter over Gerald Ford because Ford was asked three times by the moderator if Poland was free and Ford said YES three times. This is back in 1976 when Poland was under the boot of the Soviet Union. I have done many silly things but never voted for a Democrat again.
Imagine if we were all blamed and held responsible for the sins of one of our grandfather’s brothers. For some, the good of the Kennedy legacy is oft interred with their bones.
Welcome Joe to far leftyland. Enjoy your stay. You don’t even need to show up to get elected here. We love you just because.
