It's official… I'm running to represent NY-12 in Congress! This is the district where I was born and raised, and the place that five generations of my family have called home. Hi John, I'm Jack Schlossberg, and my grandfather, President Kennedy, is my hero. In high school, I spent hours watching his speeches. He taught us all that politics isn't about serving yourself — it's about serving others. And that's exactly why I'm running for Congress.
I've always been passionate about politics — you can probably gather as much if you've seen any of my social media posts :) I pride myself on my hot (correct!) takes. But public service has always been my driving force. I come from a long legacy of public service, from my great-great-grandparents to my mother, Caroline Kennedy. I have big shoes to fill. I've known it all my life. But this is even bigger than living up to my family name. This is about serving the people of New York — the city that shaped me into the person I am today. Right now, our country is in crisis. Donald Trump and his buddies (my cousin RFK Jr. — to name just one) are tanking the economy, attacking free speech, and sowing distrust in decades of scientific research. We need to revive empathy and effort. I want to be excited and feel hopeful about our future, and I want my fellow New Yorkers to feel the same way. I believe in a politics that works for the people it was intended to serve, and I'm ready to fight for it. And John, I happen to think caring is cool. None of this will be easy. But in the words of my grandfather, I'm doing this "Not because it is easy but because it is hard."
Talk soon, Jack  |
