| Description | Rep. Carolyn Maloney has decided to take on Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in the 2010 Democratic primary, refusing to bow to party leaders who want her to stay out, the Daily News has learned.
"She's definitely decided to run," said a senior Maloney adviser, speaking on condition of anonymity. "She's in it."
Maloney, a congresswoman since 1993 for Manhattan's East Side and a slice of Queens, will make an official announcement in two weeks, the adviser said.
The Democratic establishment, led behind the scenes by Sen. Chuck Schumer, has cleared other would-be challengers from the primary field for Gillibrand.
Last month, while meeting with the Daily News Editorial Board, Maloney, 61, criticized Gillibrand, 42, for her "evolving" stances on guns, immigration and the economic crisis. Maloney also questioned Gillibrand's "character." |
