Jack Schlossberg, grandson of JFK, sets sights on New York Congress seat as career politician takes center stage.
In a move that cements his place among America's rising elite, 32-year-old Jack Schlossberg has thrown his hat into the ring for New York City's 12th Congressional District seat. The Democratic contender, son of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, aims to succeed outgoing Rep. Jerry Nadler, who announced his retirement in September.
Schlossberg made his announcement in a video statement, touting his deep roots in the district where he was born and raised. "I'm running for Congress to represent my home, New York's 12th congressional district... This is the best part of the greatest city on Earth," he declared.
The Kennedy scion has built a reputation as an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump and Republicans more broadly. His social media presence has seen him take aim at his own relatives, including first cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom he accused of peddling "celebrity conspiracy theories" for personal gain.
Education-wise, Schlossberg boasts an impressive résumé: Yale history grad, Harvard law and MBA graduate, and most recently, a stint as a political correspondent for Vogue's 2024 presidential election coverage.
Schlossberg sees his campaign as a battle against Trump's policies and vows to use the district's energy and drive to translate into Washington power. "We have the best hospitals and schools, restaurants and museums... This is the financial and media capital of the world," he said. "This district should have a representative who can harness that creativity, energy and drive."
Schlossberg's entry into politics follows a career marked by high-profile assignments, including his work on Vogue. The family ties will undoubtedly be a draw for some voters, but Schlossberg has made clear his commitment to Democratic Party values.

. His whole thing about representing the 12th district where he was born and raised sounds a bit insincere, you know? I mean, come on, his family has been connected to politics for decades! 
It's gonna be tough for him to genuinely connect with the people of New York City. And don't even get me started on his social media ranting about his own relatives... that just comes off as petty 
. He needs to focus on the issues and not just leverage his famous name 
.
I think its a bold move by Jack Schlossberg to run for Congress at such a young age! He's got a great background and seems like a solid candidate. 
His experience working for Vogue is actually really impressive, who knew politics could be so stylish? 
On the other hand, I'm not sure how he'll deal with all the scrutiny that comes with being part of a famous family... his cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr's antics might come back to haunt him! 
Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out in the next election cycle. 
another celeb trying 2 get into politics? i mean, don't get me wrong, jacks got skills & all, but come on... he's only 32! can't he just focus on building a career in the media industry first? like, i see his vogue gig is pretty cool, but is he really qualified to make laws or something? 
! as a born-and-raised new yorker myself, it's awesome to see someone who genuinely knows the city and its people stepping up. plus, he's got some serious credentials – i mean, harvard law grad? 
, he's not afraid to speak his mind and that's something we can all get behind!
. And let's be real, having a history grad from Yale and an MBA from Harvard? 
That's some serious credentials right there!
- taking aim at Trump and Republicans like his famous cousins 
. His social media game is on point too, I love how he's not afraid to throw shade at his own family members 
! The city's got so much to offer, from hospitals and schools to restaurants and museums 
. He's got the right idea about harnessing that creativity and drive to make a real impact.
... only because it means there'll be some serious firepower on the Democratic side 
! Wish him luck, I'm ready to see what he brings to the table 
. It feels kinda entitled, like he's not really connecting with regular people or their problems. And what's up with taking shots at his own relatives on social media? 
and all that jazz. jack schlossberg seems like a solid guy who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to speak his mind 
. but on the other hand, i'm not sure if a "career politician" is really what we need right now 
also, his history with his family members seems kinda... complicated 
. can't say it's gonna sway my vote one way or the other yet, but i'm keeping an eye on this one 
. I mean, the guy's got brains - Yale history grad, Harvard law and MBA too! And he's been makin' waves with his outspoken views on politics, which is awesome to see. Plus, it's rad that he's takin' a stand against Trump's policies. The fact that he's from NY and has a deep connection to the 12th District makes him a strong candidate, don't you think? 
I've seen his vids and vids, he's not afraid to speak truth to power & stand up for what's right even when it's hard... fingers crossed he makes a difference for NY 12 
he's got some strong opinions about Trump and Republicans, which is cool, I guess. but what makes him think he can just waltz into Washington and make a difference? has he done like, actual campaigning or something before? 
. Either way, this is definitely going to be an interesting ride! 
. I'm curious to see how his campaign plays out, especially given his outspoken views on Trump and Republicans 
!
... he's got the brains, brawn and charisma to really make a difference in Washington 
, and his experience as a Vogue correspondent has given him some serious storytelling chops 
. But what I love most about this is that he's not just coasting on family fame - he's got real credentials under his belt (Yale, Harvard, law and MBA? yeah, no joke!) 
... and he's speaking truth to power about Trump's policies 
. Can't wait to see how it all plays out!
