Description | Chris Kennedy will run for U.S. Senate
May 19, 2009
BY MICHAEL SNEED Sun-Times Columnist
Scoopsville . . .
Bet the ranch.
Sneed has learned the Merchandise Mart’s Chris Kennedy, son of the late U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, will announce next week he is running for the U.S. Senate.
Sneed has also learned Kennedy, who lives with his wife, Sheila, and four children in Kenilworth, has hired the prestigious media consultant firm AKPD and has already shot his first TV campaign commercial.
AKPD was founded by President Obama’s senior adviser David Axelrod. Axelrod divested himself of the firm when he took the White house job.
Kennedy will be running for Obama’s old Senate seat, now held by Roland Burris, the beleaguered appointee of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
Sneed tipped this: Kennedy commissioned a poll last month using Obama pollster John Anzalone, which Kennedy sources claim was very encouraging. |
