Connecticut State Senator Ted Kennedy Jr. will not be a candidate for governor in 2018. Kennedy is a Democrat from Branford.  

On Monday, he issued a brief statement that said he will not run for statewide office next year. Kennedy says he values the contribution he is able to make as a senator from the 12th District.

Governor Dannel Malloy earlier this year announced that he will not seek a third term in 2018.
