Look who showed up at the Brownstone in Paterson on Friday night, only too happy to lend his support to state Senator Nellie Pou, the Democrats’ candidate to succeed the late beloved U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-9): Former U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy.

Pictured above: Kennedy, Pou, and Passaic County Democratic Committee Chairman John Currie.

Kennedy served as a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from Rhode Island’s 1st congressional district from 1995 to 2011.

He moved to New Jersey and started his family in Brigantine with wife Amy Kennedy.

Amy Kennedy ran for Congress against U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew in 2020.
