King''', born April 5, 1944 (age {{age|1944|4|5}}), is a [[Republican]] [[U.S. Representative]] for the [[New York]] state's 3rd Congressional District, which represents eastern Nassau County and western Suffolk County in [[Long Island]]. King is Ranking Member of the Homeland Security Committee and also serves on the Financial Services Committee. Despite being a [[conservative]] congressman in a moderate district, King remains popular with his constituents and has been reelected numerous times by large margins. − − Congressman King is well known for being a leader in the ongoing effort to have Homeland Security funding based on threat analysis and is a strong supporter of the war against international [[terrorism]]. − − He is considering a bid for president in the [[2016 presidential election]] <ref>http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/315441-king-visits-first-primary-state-of-new-hampshire-</ref> − − ==Senate Speculation== − King announced on Aucgust 31, 2009, that will not challenge appointed Sen. [[Kirsten Gillibrand]] (D-N.Y.) in 2010. "The reality is that a statewide Democratic candidate starts the race with a voter registration edge of almost 3 million," King explained. "To overcome such a large margin, there would have to be intensive media coverage of the race and I would need to raise at least $30 million.... I would have run if Caroline Kennedy were the Democratic candidate. Her candidacy would have generated the media coverage and financial contributions necessary for me to run a competitive race. That's all I would have hoped for. Once the race became competitive, it would have been up to me to win it by contrasting my blue collar conservatism with her Manhattan liberalism." − − ==External links== − *[http://peteking.house.gov/ Peter King's Official House website] − *[http://www.ontheissues.org/NY/Peter_King.htm Peter King on the Issues] − − ==References== − {{reflist|2}} − − {{DEFAULTSORT:King, Peter}} − − [[Category:United States Representatives|King, Peter]] − [[Category:Republican Party]] − [[Category:110th United States Congress]] − [[Category:New York]] − [[Category:RINOs]]
