New York City is abuzz as John F. Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, has announced his intention to run for the U.S. House seat in the 12th congressional district, currently held by retiring Democratic Representative Jerry Nadler.
Schlossberg, a 33-year-old media personality and political activist, is forming an exploratory committee to gauge interest and support for his potential candidacy. The move comes as Nadler, who has represented the district since 1992, announced his retirement after nearly three decades in office.
The 12th congressional district covers much of Manhattan and includes some of New York City’s most diverse neighborhoods. Schlossberg, a Yale graduate with a law degree from Columbia University, is positioning himself as a progressive voice for the district.
With his high-profile family name and social media savvy, Schlossberg aims to energize younger voters and build a grassroots campaign in one of the most competitive districts in the country. His wife, Amanda, has also been actively involved in political events and community outreach efforts.
As the race heats up, observers are watching closely to see how Schlossberg’s candidacy will shape the dynamics of New York politics. The district is expected to be a key battleground in next year's elections.
This development marks another significant step for the Kennedy family in American politics and could set the stage for an intriguing campaign season ahead.
