At the Legislature, Kennedy is the chair of the Joint Committee on Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities and vice chair of the Joint Committee on Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery, and she serves on committees on racial equity, civil rights, agriculture, education, and public health. As the committee chair, she prioritizes strengthening the safety net and ensuring policies reflect the lived realities of residents.

Kennedy said her proudest moments have been the annual opportunities to honor community leaders through the Black Excellence on the Hill Award, the Latino Excellence Award, and the Commonwealth Heroine Award through the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women.
