Dan Senor, the husband of CNN’s Campbell Brown and a former Bush administration foreign policy adviser, is eyeing a run as a Republican against Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, The Knickerbocker has learned.

Senor has been meeting with people recent weeks around the state – including “political people and money types,” said one source.

Senor has already spoken with state GOP chairman Ed Cox, The Knickerbocker confirmed.

Senor is the founder of Rosemont Capital LLC, and brings to his resume the fact that he was among the civilian officials who served the longest in Iraq as the post-Saddam Hussein government was being established.

“I think he’s very interested,” said a Republican source. “He’s very bright, would be a strong candidate.”

Among those already openly looking at a run, or running, in the GOP line is Bruce Blakeman, financial expert David Malpass and Daily News owner and publisher Mort Zuckerman.
