New Kennedy grandson comes to the Hill

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Dec. 4, 2014

The Kennedy political dynasty may have a new future standard-bearer with one of Ted Kennedy's grandsons, Edward Moore Kennedy III.

Newly released salary records indicate that the youngest Ted Kennedy spent time this summer in Congress through the Senate Page Program. His father, Ted Kennedy Jr., was also elected Nov. 4 to the Connecticut Senate.

But Ted Kennedy III's political ambitions may have started even younger than many of his family members'. He announced his candidacy for the 2044 Senate race five years ago, aged 11, in an interview with New England Cable News.

Senate pages must be high school juniors, at least 16 and attend school.
