NEWTON, Mass. ( AP) — Joseph Kennedy III has launched his campaign for the Massachusetts congressional seat now held by retiring U.S. Rep. Barney Frank.

Kennedy released a video announcement on his website today before heading out on a campaign swing through the 4th Congressional District.

Kennedy started by greeting commuters at the Newton Center MBTA Station and talking to customers at a nearby diner. He is scheduled to make stops later in Milford, Attleboro, Taunton and Westport.

Kennedy is the son of former U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy II and a grandson of the late Robert F. Kennedy.
