US EditionJack Schlossberg, JFK's '100% half Jewish' grandson, is running for Jerry Nadler's seat in Congress
Jack Schlossberg, JFK's grandson, aims to win the open NY-12 House seat with 12 policy proposals focusing on cost of living and opposition to Donald Trump.
- On Tuesday, Jack Schlossberg, 32-year-old grandson of President John F. Kennedy, entered the race for New York's 12th Congressional District after months of speculation.
- Rep. Jerry Nadler's retirement opened an already-crowded NY-12 contest, while Schlossberg has family ties to public life through Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg and said last year he feels it's `100%` part of his heritage.
- His campaign rollout included video clips and 12 ways to serve constituents, while Schlossberg's more than 1.7 million followers drew criticism from Maya Luna and the New York Post for past posts and website issues.
- Other candidates already in the race include Alex Bores, Micah Lasher and 26-year-old Liam Elkind, creating a competitive primary, while Rep. Jerry Nadler questioned Schlossberg's public-service record and said he likely won't be a major candidate.
- NY-12 is a wealthy, powerful district, raising stakes as Schlossberg has never held public office and aims to help Democrats regain House control and address cost-of-living issues.
