Jack Schlossberg, the only grandson of the late President John F. Kennedy, is launching a Democratic bid for a New York City congressional seat on Wednesday. Schlossberg, 32, is entering the Democratic primary to succeed retiring Rep. Jerrold Nadler and represent New York's 12th Congressional District. The seat represents the Upper East Side, Upper West Side and Midtown sections of Manhattan, an overwhelmingly Democratic area, and one of the nation's wealthiest and geographically smallest congressional districts.
Main Idea: Jack Schlossberg, JFK’s grandson, is running for Congress in New York’s 12th District as Democrats look to replace retiring Rep. Jerrold Nadler.
Key Points:
A crowded race in a key House seat could keep local voters and donors focused on political fights instead of policy, with little immediate change for most households.
Schlossberg says his bid aims to help Democrats win the House, which could lead to different laws on taxes, rights, and services if voters back him.
