[Democratic Senator and presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand will hold] a campaign kickoff rally in front of Trump International Tower in New York next week.
[...]
Gillibrand, who was first appointed to replace Hillary Clinton in the Senate in 2009, has enjoyed national attention in recent years, largely due to her activism in the #MeToo movement. She has long been an advocate for victims of sexual assault and harassment in the military, the workplace and on Capitol Hill.
[...]
Gillibrand also calls for universal health care, paid family leave, ending gun violence, a Green New Deal and getting money out of politics, and points to activists like striking public school teachers and Women's March participants.
[...]
Gillibrand faced some criticism from other Democrats when she became the first Democratic senator to call for the resignation of then-Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) over allegations of sexual misconduct. Her office also came under scrutiny this month due to a report that a former female staffer resigned over the alleged mishandling of her sexual harassment complaint.
