So who bankrolled Kerry in his first run for Congress.
Who wanted him to win and run so badly, and what did they get in return?
Big Dig connection?

"So who bankrolled Kerry in his first run for Congress."

This was actually not Kerry's first foray into politics. He had tested the waters before--as a Vietnam hero. But when that proved to be unpopular, he ran again later as a war protester.

But it is an interesting question, given that Kerry's campaigns were always record-setters for being the most expensive to date. This has been true at every level he has run.

I've always thought:

Kennedy.
