DescriptionUpdate: Several hours after this article was published, Liz Feld released the following statement confirming that she is exploring the possibility of running for Senate.

“I am actively considering a run for the United States Senate and expect to make a final decision sooner rather than later. The ever-growing debt coming out of Washington is alarming. It will have serious implications for New York and for the next generation of Americans. Priority number one in this country has to be debt reduction and long-term tax relief. That will be the major focus of my campaign should I formally enter this race.”

A potential Republican challenger to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has finally emerged—and it is not Rudy Giuliani.

Liz Feld, the Republican mayor of Larchmont and a former White House aide, is strongly considering running for Senate against Gillibrand next year, according to people who have spoken with her. She has discussed the idea with Republican officials, including state chair Ed Cox, and taken preliminary steps toward mounting a campaign.
