Rep. Lazio Says He Will Run for Senate
From Times Wire Reports
Rep. Rick Lazio (R-N.Y.), over the objections of some GOP leaders in New York, has confirmed he will seek the party’s nomination for the U.S. Senate seat in which First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton could be the Democratic candidate. The Long Island congressman has been under pressure from some fellow Republicans to drop his interest in contesting a primary for the November 2000 election and pave the way for the expected candidacy of New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani.
