"John F Kennedy's grandson Jack Schlossberg has said he will run for the US House next year, announcing Tuesday that he was seeking a key New York seat set to be vacated by longtime Democrat Jerry Nadler. This district should have a representative who can harness the creativity, energy and drive of this district and translate that into political power in Washington, Schlossberg said in a campaign video posted on social media late Tuesday."
"Schlossberg has drummed up a large following on social media with frequent posts weighing in on national issues, including taking aim at his mother's cousin, health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. Last month, he posted on Instagram an image of a Halloween costume for MAHA Man, in reference to Kennedy's Make America Healthy Again message and described it as including such things as measles."
Jack Schlossberg is launching a campaign for the U.S. House seat in New York's 12th District, which will be vacated by longtime Democrat Jerry Nadler. The district includes Manhattan's Upper West Side, Upper East Side and midtown. Schlossberg has cultivated a substantial social media following and frequently comments on national issues, including criticism of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Nadler announced he will not seek reelection after 17 terms. Democrats aim to regain control of the House in the 2026 midterms, and Schlossberg frames his campaign around addressing cost of living, corruption, and constitutional concerns.
