| Description | Elizabeth Holtzman, a trailblazer for women in New York politics, has emerged as a top contender for the Democratic nomination in the special election to replace former Rep. Anthony Weiner, according to Queens Democratic Party sources.
Holtzman, a former New York City comptroller who also served four terms in Congress in the 1970s and early 80s, approached Queens Democratic Party Leader Joe Crowley about running following Weiner’s resignation, soon after the disgraced congressman’s resignation. And though Holtzman has not held office since the early 1990s, Queens Democratic Party sources say they are taking her candidacy seriously. |
