Kennedy political dynasty comes to end
-
For the 1st time since 1947, there is no one from the Kennedy political dynasty in Congress.
Amy Kennedy, daughter-in-law of Ted Kennedy, lost to incumbent Jeff Van Drew in the NJ 2nd congressional district race. She is married to Patrick Kennedy, who left Congress in 2011 due to having mental health issues; bi-polar.
It should be noted that Wikipedia is wrong about Patrick Kennedy being the last Kennedy in public office. That honor goes to Joe III, who gave up his congressional seat to run for the Senate. Patrick's page is wrong, but Joe's page is correct.
Joe is technically still in Congress until Jan 2021.
