There’s JFK, RFK, and Ted Kennedy of course.
Caroline Kennedy was Ambassador to Japan from 2013 to 2017.

And there was Sargent Shriver, the husband of Eunice Kennedy.
Shriver was the driving force behind the creation of the Peace Corps, and founded the Job Corps, Head Start, and other programs as the "architect" of the 1960s "War on Poverty."

He was the Democratic Party's nominee for Vice President in the 1972 presidential election.

Here’s a long list of offices held by various members of the Kennedy family.
