Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) is not interested in running Democrats’ Senate campaign arm for the 2016 election cycle.
That’s a according to an aide to the senator who told Politico that she’s not interested in running the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which is currently chaired by Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO).
“She is not seeking to be DSCC chair,” Gillibrand spokesman Glen Caplin told Politico.
Bennet is up for reelection in 2016 and is not expected to keep the job.
Other names who have been mentioned for the job are Sens. Chris Coons (D-DE), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), and Sherrod Brown (D-OH), and Jon Tester (D-MT).

Don’t blame her. I think that democrats should just get out of the ad business and trying to raise huge sums of money. Just put money in GOTV. Spending huge money just to get a few independents is not going to help. Focus on the major states for electoral votes and run candidates in blue states against GOP incumbents. Democrats could do cheaper ads on the radio. Run real democrats that stand up for values that democrats believe in even in red states. This election cycle proved that democrats who pretend to be republicans don’t help. Democrats should just be who they are, win or lose. Democrats could do more town halls in areas where their base is to get them motivated. If democrats focus on turning out base voters to vote than they will win.
Sherrod Brown would be my choice after reading his emails and listening to him speak - current group of consultants/analyst at DSCC need to find new endeavors - why didn’t Bennett do more for Udall instead of concentrating on SD & KY - both hard to win
Why didn’t any of them do more to get the Dem message out, instead of buying into the RW crap, that Obama is the worst thing to ever happen to this country? Again though, where the Senate is concerned, people need to realize how much power Reid holds over these elections. He is the one who set the agenda on how these candidates should run their campaign. I have never cared for Reid as Majority Leader, as he refuses to fight for the Dem agenda in the media, but while he seems so soft voiced to the rest of us, he is a bully behind the scenes and wants to run the show. He is the number one Dem that needs to be booted out of his power. Reid likes negative things to “leak” out of his office, but he sucks at publicly defending the Dems and their agenda.
