Kirsten Gillibrand

CQPolitics.com - No matter what Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand does, the freshman senator from New York has not been able to scare off talk of a big-name 2010 challenge, either in the primary or the general election.  

U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand hopes New York will be able to attract $15 million of the $100 million that may be provided in legislation she is supporting for jobs and new businesses. In a teleconference, the senator said she is launching a new Innovative Agenda in response to the continuing job loss here in New York and across the country.  

ALBANY -- In her continuing roll-out of endorsement announcements leading up to the 2010 election, US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand announced Monday she has secured an official announcement from N.Y. Congressman Paul Tonko. "In the Mohawk Valley,...  

A veteran Democratic activist who lives in Midtown Manhattan reports receiving the Harold Ford Jr.-vs.-Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand call in the middle of last week and was able to provide a bit more information. According to this Democrat, who asked to remain anonymous, Ford was not the only potential Gillibrand opponent mentioned on the call. Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and outgoing Comptroller Bill Thompson were also floated. (The call...

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand was joined by Congressman Paul Tonko as they made stops in Fulton, Montgomery, and Schenectady Counties to talk about economic development and job creation. The Senator announced she's introducing new legislation to protect seniors against fraud and as the 2010 elections approach, it's a demographic whose support she can use. Our Sabina Kuriakose has more.  

Pataki would actually be behind 45-42 if he ran. It's pretty clear to me who should run, and that's Rudy. I'm willing to look past the issues like abortion where he is less than conservative if it means a sure win over Gillibrand. I'm pretty sure Pataki isn't so conservative either, so really there's not much of a choice. Don't they have to announce pretty soon whether they are running? In Texas the deadline to get on the primary ballot is...  

On this early morning of the Thanksgiving holiday, let us give thanks for the political rumor mill. The rumor mill this week has been deliciously bountiful, having churned out a beaut from the Empire State. Consider this bit of 2010 speculation an early feast for political junkies: a Democratic Senator in a blue state. Getting primaried. From the right. By a former Congressman and statewide candidate. From the South. Kirsten Gillibrand, meet...  

Michael "I Hate Guns" Bloomberg has "persuaded" two New York Congresscritters to introduce a bill to give the ATF 1500 more agents. Why? As Senator Kirsten Gillibrand tells us:Because right now, they only have the capability to check gun dealers once every 7-20 years, literally. It is so outrageous.What I find outrageous is Senator Gillibrand's quick and apparently thorough co-option by the power structure in DC. At one time, she was...  

First the news from Rasmussen, which is all bad for Kirsten Gillibrand.Democratic incumbent Kirsten Gillibrand may have a serious problem on her hands if Rudy Giuliani gets in next year’s race for the U.S. Senate in New York State.

Ford; Gillibrand The last time we suggested that Harold Ford Jr. was interested in the New York U.S. Senate seat formerly held by Hillary Clinton, it was when Clinton surrendered her seat to become Secretary of State. Sometime Memphian Ford denied any such hankering at the time, and Kirsten Gillibrand got the nod. Now Politico.com is saying that Ford, at least a part-time New York resident these days, is hankering hard and heavy and may indeed...  

Ever since the (rather dubious) news that Rudy Giuliani is again eyeing a bid for the US Senate instead of a gubernatorial run next year, there has been a sudden surge of interest from would-be challengers to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. So many names have been floated and/or rejected at this point it's getting sort of hard to keep everyone straight. It seems a good time to review who's in and who's out. Before that, however, a little analysis...  

Filed under: Senate, Rudy Giuliani, Polls, Poll Watch, 2010 ElectionsWhen Kirsten Gillibrand was named earlier this year to fill the seat vacated by Hillary Clinton, the conventional wisdom was that if she hoped to win a full term next year in her own right, she would have to make herself better known across New York. The latest poll numbers show she still has her work cut out for her. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments  

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who has put LGBT issues on the top of her "to-do" list as she works to shore up her liberal credentials, has placed personal phone calls to on-the-fence Democratic state senators in hopes of getting them to vote "yes" on gay marriage. Gillibrand's office confirmed calls had been made, but refused to say who the recipients had been or if anyone had specifically asked the junior senator to weigh in. "She made calls...  

There’s been virtually no change over the past two months in the hypothetical Election 2010 Senate match-up in New York State between Democratic incumbent Kirsten Gillibrand and former Governor George Pataki. Including the fact that Pataki still hasn’t announced for the race. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state finds Gillibrand leading Pataki 45% to 42%. Seven percent (7%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent are...
