Chuck Schumer, current Chairman of the DSCC, will seek a third term.^{[citation needed]} In 2004, he handily defeated Assemblyman Howard Mills. New York is considered a Democratic stronghold. However, there are a few Republicans who could oppose Schumer, including former governor George Pataki, former New York City mayor and 2008 presidential hopeful Rudolph W. Giuliani, and State Senate Majority leader Joseph L. Bruno, with the former mayor and former governor being the strongest opponents for the incumbent.
