Kennedy participated in his cousin [[Patrick J. Kennedy]]'s campaign for a seat in the [[Rhode Island House of Representatives]] by visiting the district.<ref>Bly, p. 297.</ref> He sat outside the polling booth and had his picture taken with "would-be" voters. The polaroid ploy worked so well in the campaign that Patrick J. Kennedy used it again in 1994.

Kennedy also campaigned in [[Boston]] for his uncle's [[1994 U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts|re-election to the U.S. Senate]] against challenger [[Mitt Romney]] in 1994. "He always created a stir when he arrived in Massachusetts", remarked Senator Kennedy.<ref>[https://www.historyplace.com/speeches/ted-kennedy-jfk-jr.htm Senator Edward M. Kennedy. Tribute to John F.
