Jack Schlossberg Tries to Revive House Bid at 33 as Poll Slide and Staff Turmoil Deepen

Summary
Jack Schlossberg, 33, is spending the final days of New York’s congressional primary trying to regain control of a campaign hit by management problems and a sharp drop in polls.
Recent scrutiny centered on a haphazard operation with frequent staff turnover, undercutting the early assumption that the Kennedy name would dominate the race to replace Rep. Jerrold Nadler.
Schlossberg has recast the contest as a fight between youthful energy and dark money, but that message has been muddied by his own at least $1 million self-funding and by rivals with overlapping appeals.
The struggle has played out in a crowded Democratic field that includes Nadler-backed Micah Lasher, Alex Bores, George Conway and Nina Schwalbe, making pedigree alone look insufficient in one of the country’s most affluent districts.
