Q&A: Senator Kirsten Gillibrand speaks with amNY about migrant crisis, Israel-Hamas conflict, and more

Kirsten Gillibrand, New York’s junior senator, has plenty of issues to keep her busy these days — an influx of over 140,000 migrants to the Big Apple, a nearly two-month conflict between Israel and Hamas and the day-to-day issues that matter to Americans, just to name a few.

Gillibrand, who has represented the Empire State in Washington’s upper chamber for nearly 15 years, is also headed into an election year where Democrats are trying to keep President Joe Biden in the White House, maintain their U.S. Senate Majority and take back the House of Representatives. The Senator is up for reelection herself, but currently has no challengers.
