Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of President John F. Kennedy and son of U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy, has launched a bid for New York’s 12th Congressional District seat as Rep. Jerry Nadler prepares to retire.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has appointed Jack Schlossberg, the only grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, to the America 250 Commission, which will oversee celebrations for the United States’ 250th anniversary in 2026. Schumer announced the appointment Wednesday, calling Schlossberg “the right choice” to help ensure the milestone honors “our nation and our values.”
