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.
