WPCNR WASHINGTON SHUTTLE. From Bill O'Reilly. November 25,2009: Larchmont Mayor Liz Feld announced today she is interested in running for the New York State Senate Seat now represented by Kirsten Gillibrand. Gillebrand was appointed to the Senate Seat by Governor David Paterson, when Hillary Clinton was appointed Secretary of State. Feld issued this statement today:
"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."-Liz Feld 11/25/09
Ms. Feld ran opposing State Senator Suzi Oppenheimer and lost in 2008.
