Jack Schlossberg’s friends reportedly hope to pair him with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but the former candidate says she can do better.

Friends familiar with both New York Democrats were trying to arrange a meeting after Schlossberg’s unsuccessful bid for a Manhattan congressional nomination.

The matchmaking effort carried a political angle. Some friends believed the introduction might help Schlossberg land a job in Ocasio-Cortez’s New York office.

Schlossberg, 33, received 10% of the vote in his June campaign. That same month, the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy publicly said he was looking for a “soulmate.”

No meeting has been announced. Ocasio-Cortez, 36, has not responded publicly to the reported effort, and no office job has materialized.

A 10% finish led friends to float a new political connection

When The New York Post asked Schlossberg about the proposed pairing, he answered with a mix of respect and self-deprecation.

“I respect her a lot, she can do way better than me!”

Schlossberg also dismissed the matchmaking account with four words: “What a silly story.”

An unnamed insider argued that the two shared enough political ground to form some kind of relationship.

“Those two would actually get along great together. They believe government is a force of good. They’d at least be good friends.”

That remains the view of unnamed friends, not an established plan. The identities of the matchmakers and the details of any proposed meeting have not been disclosed.

Friends also floated a job in Ocasio-Cortez’s New York office

The employment angle gives the otherwise light matchmaking tale a harder political edge. Schlossberg lost his nomination contest, yet friends were already discussing another route into Democratic politics.

The family connection is plain. Ocasio-Cortez previously interned in Ted Kennedy’s office while attending Boston University, while Schlossberg is Kennedy’s nephew and John F. Kennedy’s grandson.

The reported personal opening followed Ocasio-Cortez’s split from her longtime fiancé, Riley Roberts. The reasons for that breakup remain unclear.

For now, the proposed match amounts to friends talking, one unnamed insider making the case, and Schlossberg saying the congresswoman is out of his league. Ocasio-Cortez has offered no known response.

Voters choose officeholders. Political insiders should not confuse family connections and matchmaking with a public mandate.
