He served as the state treasurer of Louisiana for five terms before being elected the state’s senator.
What does James Preston Kennedy do for a living? We tried to uncover the mystery.
James Preston Kennedy’s Age
James Preston Kennedy mainly goes by his middle name Preston. Preston is Senator John Kennedy and his wife Rebecca’s only child. Details of when he was born are not available on the web. However, authoritative sources have it that he is over 20 years old. Likewise, the details of his childhood, where he attended school, and what he does for a living are also kept private.
In 2016, Preston was the attention of media scrutiny after his neighbors filed a lawsuit against him. The family alleged they left the then-20-year-old Preston to look after their dog while out of town. However, he threw a party while they were gone, which led to damage and theft of personal items. According to a surveillance video, the party went on through the night, and the attendees drank, smoked, and engaged in sexual encounters in their master bedroom and the children’s bedrooms.
Attempts to get the promised repair of damages and replacement of stolen and damaged items were futile, which led to the lawsuit against the senator’s son. It is not clear what the terms of the settlement were.
Preston keeps under the radar, and little is known about his whereabouts.
