BOSTON – Joseph P. Kennedy III, the last of his storied family to serve in Congress, is running for a third term.
The Brookline Democrat confirmed Thursday his intentions to seek a third term in the U.S. House of Representatives, in an interview with the Attleboro Sun Chronicle.
BOSTON – Speaker Robert DeLeo of the state House of Representatives took to social media Friday to demand an apology from the Boston Globe after Frank Phillips, the newspaper's State House bureau chief, penned a column comparing the powerful Winthrop Democrat to a plantation owner.
"If it could be said that Rosenberg, with his shared leadership system, runs a commune, DeLeo, as he enters his eighth year as the House leader, runs a plantation where he calls the shots," the longtime Beacon Hill scribe wrote in a column published Friday. He was referring to Senate President Stanley Rosenberg, the Amherst Democrat who serves as DeLeo's counterpart in the upper chamber of the Legislature.
