Nita Lowey has been in Congress for 31 years, and yesterday she announced that at age 82, it felt like time to retire.

Besides chairing the House Appropriations Committee, Lowey, as reported by Gothamist,

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss closed-door deliberations, cautioned that Clinton hasn’t personally expressed interest, but said local party leaders were reaching out to her within hours of Lowey, 82, announcing she won’t run for reelection next year.

“If you’re a Clinton and you need a hook, this is a good one,” the source told the Daily News, noting that Lowey’s 17th congressional district includes Chappaqua, the ritzy Westchester suburb where Chelsea Clinton’s prominent parents live….

    I’d love to see someone like former NY Yankee pitcher, Mariano Rivera, run for the seat. But NY GOP has no vision.

    Chelsea has nothing to do ever since Mom lost her election and the flow of bribes, I mean contributions, to the Clinton Foundation dried up.
