Tarr Statement on the Loss of State Senator Edward J. Kennedy
Boston (10/02/2025) – Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester) released the following statement today regarding the recent passing of State Senator Edward J. Kennedy (D-Lowell):
“Senator Ed Kennedy was a gentleman, a dedicated public servant, an unyielding champion for the people of the city of Lowell and the towns of Dracut, Dunstable, Pepperell and Tyngsborough, and a friend.
He was a true partner in the Senate as we worked together to lead efforts to improve the health of the Merrimack River, to prevent harm to circus animals, to strengthen our state’s tourism sector, and other shared priorities.
Ed’s passing is a great loss for the Senate, and for all of us fortunate enough to count him as a friend. I extend my deepest condolences to his family, and all of those in a district he represented with such commitment and pride.”
