Scathing NY Times Report Questions If Jack Schlossberg Is Capable of Public Service

"The report by Nicholas Fandos begins with an unflattering but illustrative anecdote about Schlossberg's behavior on the day he launched his bid to replace outgoing Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) in New York's 12th. Fandos reports that Schlossberg's staff had set him up with a list of key calls to make to party elders and wealthy donors the day of his launch, to prove he was a serious contender. But just hours into his Day 1 launch, the candidate abruptly announced a change of plans, according to three people familiar with the events."

"Forget dialing for dollars Mr. Schlossberg said he needed a nap. He then effectively disappeared for the day, leaving his team reeling, wrote Fandos, adding: The incident would be unusual for any candidate for high office, especially one representing the beating heart of Manhattan. For Mr. Schlossberg, a first-time candidate with little traditional work experience, it was evidently par for the course."

"Fandos goes on to note that Schlossberg's fame, charisma and creativity have secured him a narrow lead in the crowded Democratic Party primary, but added that behind the scenes, a group of fellow Democrats, family friends, union leaders and others with direct knowledge of the campaign described an operation so erratic and plagued by turnover that it raises questions about how he might handle himself as a member of Congress."
