Jack Schlossberg, JFK's Grandson And Online Provocateur, Is Running For Congress
HuffPost
The 32-year-old said he knows how to “breathe” on “completely polluted” social media as he suggested the Democratic Party should turn to a new generation.
Jack Schlossberg, a provocative online commentator and grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, announced late Tuesday that he’s running for a U.S. House seat in New York.
In a campaign video posted to Instagram, Schlossberg condemned the “cost of living crisis,” “constitutional crisis” and “corruption crisis” posed by President Donald Trump’s administration, while stressing the importance of Democrats regaining House control.
“With control of Congress, there’s nothing we can’t do,” the 32-year-old said. “Without it, we’re helpless to a third term.”
The Kennedy scion will be running for retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler’s seat in New York’s 12th Congressional District and joins a crowded field of candidates vying for the role.
Schlossberg said the 12th District, which includes Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Upper East Side and midtown, “should have a representative who can harness the creativity, energy and drive of this district and translate that into political power in Washington.”
