JFK grandson Jack Schlossberg running for Congress

Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former President Kennedy, is running to succeed retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) in the Empire State’s 12th congressional district.
In a video posted to Instagram on Tuesday, Schlossberg said the country “is at a turning point” and in the midst of a cost of living, corruption and constitutional crisis under President Trump. He added that change starts with Democrats recapturing control of the House next November.
“With control of Congress, there’s nothing we can’t do. Without it, we’re helpless to a third term,” Schlossberg said, referencing Trump’s rhetoric about running for a third term despite being constitutionally barred from doing so.
Schlossberg, 32, was born in New York City before Nadler took office in Congress. The 12th district spans the Upper West and East sides and Midtown Manhattan.
In his post, the Democrat said he “took the bus to school every single day from one side of the district to the other.” He attended the Collegiate School, an all-boys private school on the Upper West Side.
A graduate of Yale University and Harvard Law School, Schlossberg has a significant following on social media — with roughly 728,000 followers on Instagram and nearly 173,000 followers on social platform X.
Schlossberg spoke at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and has frequently criticized Trump and his uncle, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., online.
