Wager to leave job, hit campaign trail

Richard Wager checked in today to pass along this news: He's planning to leave his job in New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration at the end of the month to begin campaigning for Congress full time in July.

"Things are coming together awfully well!" Wager said in an e-mail.

Wager is vying for the Republican nomination in the 20th District to challenge U.S. Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat from Hudson who was elected to her first two-year term in November. Gillibrand will be up for re-election in November 2008.

Wager, a native of Hyde Park, recently bought a house in the Millbrook area. He is the son of former Poughkeepsie Journal publisher Dick Wager.
