Jack Schlossberg’s campaign manager has already left the job — just weeks after the Kennedy family scion kicked off his bid for Congress.
Annabell Lasally, who was hired to help launch the 32-year-old’s Democratic primary campaign for New York City’s 12th Congressional District, has confirmed that she now no longer working for the social media-loving candidate.
The circumstances surrounding her departure, which was first reported by Politico, weren’t immediately clear.
Lasally, whose resume includes a stint in Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office, had already changed her social media profiles to indicate she no longer works for the “Jack for New York” campaign.
Schlossberg’s campaign hasn’t yet addressed who will replace Lasally.
“We continue to grow post launch as the only campaign with a plan focused on local issues and progressive policy,” the campaign said in a statement to Politico late Thursday.
“We will be announcing our new campaign headquarters very soon. It’s all systems go!”
Schlossberg, the grandson of John F. Kennedy, revealed last month that he was making a run for the House of Representatives next year by aiming to win the seat being vacated by longtime Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler.
The Harvard grad, who has a large social media following and is known for his spate of off-kilter posts and videos, is among nearly a dozen candidates running in the wealthy district, which covers a core chunk of Manhattan.
Schlossberg told The Post earlier this month that he didn’t think his controversial social media videos would have any effect on his burgeoning campaign.
“I think some people might be confused by some of the posts, but they have to understand that there’s a reason behind all of them,” he said.
He claimed, too, that voters have “a lot of respect” for him for taking shots at President Trump and his allies — boasting he is taking it upon himself to “take risks and move the ball forward on behalf of the party when no one asked me to and I wasn’t a candidate.”
