NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Ted Kennedy Jr. says he's thought about following in his late father's footsteps and running for political office, but says he has no immediate plans to do so.

Kennedy appeared Wednesday the Connecticut AFL-CIO convention in New Haven to speak about Sen. Edward Kennedy's commitment to the labor movement.

Sen. Kennedy died Aug. 25 of brain cancer.

The younger Kennedy, who lost a leg from cancer at the age of 12, says he's not ready to divide what he calls his "primary job" of being father to his two young children. He says he may consider politics after his son and daughter grow old enough that they "will not want to hang out" with him.
