Two days before she will be sworn in as New York’s junior senator, a smiling Kirsten E. Gillibrand said Sunday that she planned to “hit the ground running.”
“It’s thrilling,” said Ms. Gillibrand, the 42-year-old Congresswoman from the sprawling 20th Congressional district around Albany. “You will see me everywhere in the state. You will see me wherever you want to see me.”
Ms. Gillibrand spoke to reporters after finishing a congratulatory lunch at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York with the newly minted Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Charles E. Schumer, the state’s senior senator, and New York Governor David A. Paterson, who appointed Ms. Gillibrand on Friday to fill Ms. Clinton’s vacated senate seat.
