A president from the Capital Region.

That's the promise embodied in U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's run for the White House. The Democratic contender has deep roots to the region, including her grandmother's role in Albany's political machine, and she calls Rensselaer County home today.

Gillibrand joined the Capitol Confidential podcast to talk with Times Union reporter Rachel Silberstein about serving the area in Congress, her political evolution, and much more.

An even deeper dive into her formative years was the focus of a recent Times Union profile, and a look into her rise in politics in print on Sunday.
