My Take
Carrying the Kennedy name into Congress could have been the whole story, but Patrick chose to make it a footnote to something braver. Serving Rhode Island from 1995 to 2011 and arriving as one of the first Gen X members of Congress, he later turned his public life toward mental health and addiction advocacy, a cause he speaks about with the kind of candor that only comes from lived experience. That pivot interests me far more than his lineage. Using a famous surname to destigmatize struggle, rather than to chase higher office, strikes me as the genuinely useful kind of privilege.
