MA-SEN: Joseph Kennedy III considering primary challenge to Ed Markey.

[RandySF]

WASHINGTON — Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III of Massachusetts is considering a primary challenge next year against Senator Edward J. Markey, according to a senior Democratic official. Such a race could substantially alter the state’s political landscape and has the potential to elevate a fourth member of a Democratic dynasty to the Senate.

Mr. Kennedy, the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, had publicly indicated that he intended to run for re-election next year. But in a conversation this week with the Democratic official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private deliberations, Mr. Kennedy, 38, said that he was weighing a campaign against Mr. Markey, 73, and would decide in the coming weeks.

1. Interesting...not least by the significance of a Kennedy but

Because of what the DCCC said about Dems challenging incumbents, and anyone working for that challenger. That said, I expected Kennedy to really move on after 2016, but he's been largely anonymous, so perhaps he realises that he needs to get to a higher stage ?
