Rep. Patrick Kennedy Says He Won’t Run for Re-Election

Rhode Island Rep. Patrick Kennedy, son of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, announced in a video released late Thursday that he won’t be seeking re-election this year. Kennedy doesn’t address the reasons for his decision in his vague video, but he signals his gratitude to the people of Rhode Island and folds in a nice tribute to his dad while he’s at it.  —KA
