Retiring Barney Frank will be succeeded by scion of Kennedy political dynasty.
Joe Kennedy III will be a new U.S. Congressman from Massachusetts. At around 9:30 p.m., the Associated Press called the race for 32-year old Kennedy, who lives in Brookline, as he was beating by a 2-1 margin Norfolk Republican Sean Bielat in the race to represent the redrawn Fourth Congressional District.

And his great-uncle, who …

Marty Farren told Patch Friday night he's running for the Fourth Congressional District seat held by Barney Frank (D-Newton) largely because "there's a lot of what I see as slander, denigration of our federal government." A data analyst who handles large data sets, Farren is the latest person to announce their interest in the congressional seat. Joseph Kennedy III announced this week he's forming an exploratory committee. Frank will not seek re-election in November. "Our federal government does a phenomenally good job of the things that it does, and we call it lots of bad names," Farren said. "That's problematic. Because it means that it's …
