Mike Sapraicone seeks to unseat Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand

New Yorkers have important legislative elections coming up in November, including for the U.S. Senate.

Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is being challenged by Republican Mike Sapraicone.

He is a retired NYPD detective who later started a private security company.

Sapraicone joined NY1 political reporter Bobby Cuza on “Inside City Hall” Tuesday from inside the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

“People see that it’s time for change. I’ve always thought that timing is important and I think we’re certainly at a point in our lives here in New York where we need change,” he said.
