“I think the reason we have elections is to exchange ideas on the important issues of our time,” said Mr. Stringer, a former state assemblyman who has served as borough president since 2006. “Voters have an expectation for a Senate seat held by Kennedy, Moynihan, that there will be a discussion of these issues through the electoral process.”
Carolyn Maloney
Several members of the state’s delegation in the House are considering bids, though they would have to take the risk of giving up their seats to run. Representative Carolyn B. Maloney, a Manhattan Democrat, said Wednesday that she was “seriously considering it,” adding, “Many people have called me and asked me to run.”
Carolyn McCarthy
Representative Carolyn McCarthy, a Long Island Democrat, also said she might run, citing her disagreements with Ms. Gillibrand’s views on guns. And Representative Steve Israel is said to be considering a run. Ms. Maloney and Mr. Israel were considered but passed over by the governor in the Senate selection process.
