Democratic Rep. Joe Kennedy of Massachusetts, the heir to his family's political dynasty, will announce a run for Senate on Saturday morning at the East Boston Social Center, challenging Democratic Sen. Ed Markey, who has served in Congress for more than 40 years, according to a source familiar.
In recent weeks, Kennedy, 38, has sought to draw a generational contrast with the 73-year-old Markey. "Sen. Markey is a good man," Kennedy said in August."I think I've got new ideas and a new approach and if I get into this race, that's what this race will be about."Kennedy commands a lead in early polling, befitting a name that has won political races in Massachusetts for generations.
