Libertarians endorse independent for Senate…

Libertarians endorse independent Joe Kennedy for Senate to take over the late Senator Ted Kennedy’s seat. Kennedy, who has no relation to the family of Senator Kennedy, is now officially backed by the Libertarian Association of Massachusetts.

Kennedy is actually on the Libertarian Association of Massachusetts State Committee. He made the decision to run as an independent because it is more costly to run as a third party candidate, such as a libertarian, than run as an independent.

A Kennedy running to replace Ted Kennedy…

A Kennedy running to replace Ted Kennedy, Joe Kennedy is running. No, he’s not that Joe Kennedy.

Candidate Kennedy writes on his website, “I claim no relation to the family or relatives of President John F. Kennedy.” He continues, “Only with Joseph P Kennedy's validation that he is not going to run would I even consider my own candidacy for office.”

So, is this Kennedy a liberal? No. He said, “you will find that my views are closely aligned with the Libertarian party.” Kennedy is running for the office as an Independent candidate.
