JFK’s Grandson Jack Schlossberg Launches Run for Congress

👤Jack Schlossberg is ready to join the family business.

The grandson of slain former President John F. Kennedy, announced he is running to represent New York’s 12th Congressional District, CNN reported.

Schlossberg announced his candidacy on a video, stating, the “country is at a turning point.”

“It’s a crisis at every level, a cost-of-living crisis sponsored by the big, beautiful bill, historic cuts to social programs working families rely on health care, education, childcare, a corruption crisis,” Schlossberg said.

He criticized the power President Donald Trump wields.

“He’s picking winners and losers from inside the Oval Office, it’s cronyism, not capitalism and a constitutional crisis with one dangerous man in control of all three branches of government, he’s stripping citizens of their civil rights and silencing his critics,” Schlossberg said.

Schlossberg is running to replace Rep. 👤Jerry Nadler, who is retiring.

Schlossberg spoke of having been “born and raised” in the district. The district runs from Union Square up through Midtown and then to the Upper West and Upper East sides.

“I took the bus to school every single day from one side of the district to the other,” Schlossberg said as he attended the private Collegiate School in New York.
