Award-winning conservative journalist and former boxing champion, Cara Castronuova, aims to unseat Kirsten Gillibrand, New York’s three-term Democratic Senator, in the November election.

In an interview with the New York Post, Ms. Castronuova—a New York native and former Golden Glove boxer-turned-investigative reporter for Newsmax—said she believes her former career in the ring gives her a fighting chance at beating the Democrat.
