Joseph P. Kennedy II
Chairman and President
of Citizens Energy Corporation
Joseph Kennedy II returned to Citizens
Energy Corporation as Chairman and President in 1998 after spending
12 years representing the 8th Congressional District of Massachusetts
in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Kennedy founded the nonprofit company
in 1979 to provide low-cost heating oil to the poor and elderly.
Under his leadership, Citizens grew to encompass seven separate
companies, including the largest energy conservation firm in
the U.S. During his tenure, Citizens became one of the nation's
first energy firms to move large volumes of natural gas to over
30 states. As a precursor to market changes under electricity
deregulation in the late 1990s, Citizens was a pioneer in moving
and marketing electrical power over the grid. Each of the successful
commercial ventures was aimed at generating revenues used to
assist the poor and needy in the U.S. and abroad.
During his 12 years on Capitol Hill, Kennedy
devised creative and innovative approaches to addressing social
needs, particularly in the ways that the private sector rather
than government agencies could help communities achieve economic
growth and prosperity. Kennedy's many initiatives included legislation
that: Expanded the availability of credit to working Americans
to buy homes and open businesses. Fair lending reforms introduced
by Kennedy have allowed hundreds of thousands of families to
obtain mortgages, helped create hundreds of thousands of new
affordable housing units nationwide by introducing tax credits
to stimulate private investment in neighborhood housing developments.
He proposed a balanced budget amendment as a vehicle to end
skyrocketing deficits, bring down interest rates, and free up
investment capital for business growth rather than government
bonds and overhauled federal public housing law for the first
time in 60 years, giving local housing authorities the tools
they need to raise standards while protecting the poorest Americans
who depend on public housing for shelter. He preserved and expanded
federal research and development accounts that stimulate the
creation of new technologies and build the foundation for new
jobs and business growth.
Throughout his career in Congress, Kennedy
served on the House Banking Committee, where he played an active
role in the federal savings and loan bailout, credit reporting
reform, Glass-Steagall overhaul, and financial modernization.
Kennedy also served on the House Veterans Affairs Committee,
passing legislation to strengthen the veterans health care system,
investigate the causes of Persian Gulf Syndrome and provide
medical treatment for veterans of the Mideast conflict.
In addition to his role as Chairman
and President of Citizens Energy, Kennedy advises and serves
on the boards of several companies in the energy, telecommunications,
and health care industries. The son of the late U.S. Sen. Robert
F. Kennedy and Ethel Kennedy, Joseph Kennedy II is married to
Beth Kelly Kennedy and is the father of twin sons.
