Kennedy ran in the Massachusetts 11th congressional district in 1946. However, he said he felt a little like a carpetbagger, as he had not had close ties to the district in years, and the 11th tended to resent the Harvard elite. I believe the statement was that he had closer ties to New York in those years than the 11th district. Assuming that, what if John Kennedy ran for political office in New York rather than Massachusetts?
