According to CNN.com, Sources: Congresswoman to replace Clinton in Senate as well as many other sources, New York Gov. David Paterson has chosen Democratic Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand to succeed Hillary Clinton as U.S. Senator from New York. Many women’s groups are extremely happy and gratified with this choice.
“Gillibrand, 42, represents New York’s traditionally Republican 20th district.
She is a member of the Blue Dog Coalition, a group of congressional Democrats who hold more conservative views than their liberal Democratic counterparts.
She is an outspoken advocate for gun rights, and she supports an extension of the Bush tax cuts. She has been endorsed by the National Rifle Association.
She also has a 100 percent rating from the American Civil Liberties Union.”
Gillibrand is a rising star in the Democratic party, having defeated an entrenched Republican incumbent in 2006, and shown her prowess as a major fund raiser. She formerly worked during the Clinton’s administration as special counsel in HUD and is said to have been Clinton’s choice for the Senate seat.
With her selection and the backing of women’s goups, Gillibrand is likely to have a very promising future ahead of her.
