Political Foes and Allies

I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.

All My Life I Have Fought For Fairness

“All my life I have fought for fairness. It is a character trait instilled in me by my late father, Thomas Foster Kennedy. He rose from humble beginnings and at a time in our nation’s history when African-American men where denied the opportunity to serve our country, he did – with honor and distinction. My Dad was a highly decorated, combat wounded, Veteran of the Second World War in the Pacific Theater. He returned home from the war and settled in Pasadena. I am one of his 10 children. He always reminded my brothers and sisters that ours was an honorable family name and to always carry ourselves with humility and dignity. He also taught us love of country and to cherish the principles of fairness upon which America was founded.

“I have embarked upon this campaign to represent you at City Hall as I uphold my family’s legacy of service to our country and our community. But I can’t do it alone, I need your support and most of all your vote.”

– John J. Kennedy February 6, 2013
