William Kennedy was one of those moderate politicians in the early nineteenth century who sometimes ran with the support of the Federalists and sometimes with the support of the Democratic Republicans. He was elected to the U.S. House several times on various party labels. For example, Kennedy was elected in 1808 on the Anti Embargo Party label. He did not stand for re-election in 1810 but received a substantial number of write-in votes. He was elected in a special election in 1813 on the Federalist ticket and re-elected later that year on the DR ticket.
Unsuccessful candidate for the NC House of Commons from Beaufort County in the 1834 election.
