excerpt: Daniel M. Donovan Jr., the district attorney in the controversial police chokehold case on Staten Island, appears poised to run for the seat in Congress about to be vacated by Representative Michael G. Grimm, and may face several adversaries if he does. Mr. Donovan, who impaneled the grand jury that cleared a police officer in the July death of Eric Garner, said in a statement on Tuesday that he was very seriously considering the race. The fact that Donovans handling of the Garner case generated national attention -- and his failure to secure an indictment -- makes his likely congressional campaign that much more notable. There are a variety of other Republicans whove expressed an interest in the race, but the New York Daily News reported over the weekend that Donovan has effectively wrapped up the Republican nomination.
