Kirsten Gillibrand was appointed to the senate with a background of being a centerish Democrat. In principle, this was a shame, because the seat from NY would be pretty safe for a genuine progressive, so it was a lost opportunity. However, there was some speculation that maybe she'd tack to the left once she was representing the whole state rather than her centerish district.
It appears that she has. On Monday she came out forcefully in favor of a public option on the healthcare initiative, using the effective and accurate phrase "Medicare for all."
Good for her, and good for us.
