“This district must have a representative who can harness the creativity, energy and drive of this district and translate that into political power in Washington,” Schlossberg said in a campaign video posted on social media late Tuesday.
In an email to supporters, Schlossberg, a Democrat, said his campaign would officially launch on Wednesday.
Schlossberg has attracted a large following on social media with his frequent posts addressing national issues, including targeting his cousin, Secretary of Health Robert Kennedy Jr.
Last month, he posted on Instagram a photo of a “MAHA Man” Halloween costume, referencing Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” message and describing it as including things like measles.
Nadler, who is serving his 17th term in Congress, announced in September that he would not run for re-election next year, noting to the New York Times that the younger Democratic lawmaker in his seat “maybe can do better, maybe help us more.”
The 12th District includes the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the Upper East Side, and Midtown.
