Political family ties grow stronger in American elections as children of leaders run for office

UPDATE - follow-up to America's political 'nepo-babies' are on the march - telegraph.co.uk: Children of well-known American politicians are stepping up their political campaigns across the United States. These family members of current and past leaders are seeking elected positions in growing numbers. Observers point out that this trend gives candidates instant name recognition and ready-made campaign networks. Critics argue this path makes it harder for outsiders to enter public service, while supporters say voters ultimately decide who wins at the ballot box.
