Kenna and his partner, fellow first ward alderman "Bathhouse" John Coughlin, were known as the "Lords of the Levee," a district included in their ward which provided them with the support of prostitutes, pimps, tavern-owners, and gamblers.
In 1923, the number of aldermen per ward was lowered from two to one, and Kenna stepped aside to become a ward committeeman, leaving the alderman's position for the first ward to his partner.
