Washington DC. 1993 Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy (D) Mass. Edward Moore "Ted" Kennedy was the senior United States Senator from Massachusetts and a member of the Democratic Party. He was the second most senior member of the Senate when he died and was the fourth-longest-serving senator in United States history, having served there for almost 47 years.

Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, both victims of assassination; and the father of Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy.

His one attempt, in the 1980 presidential election, resulted in a Democratic primary campaign loss to incumbent President Jimmy Carter. Kennedy was known for his charisma and oratorical skills.

Kennedy played a major role in passing many laws, including laws addressing immigration, cancer research, health insurance,
