Rev. Erick Salgado, a socially conservative Democratic pastor who waged a colorful campaign for mayor last year, has his sights set on a new target: incumbent Republican Congressman Michael Grimm.

Mr. Salgado confirmed that he is considering challenging the congressman in a brief phone interview this afternoon.

“I might! I might! I might strike back, it’s true,” Mr. Salgado said when asked whether he in the running, adding that he would soon register a fund-raising committee. “We are putting together the committee, the exploratory committee, and we are going to start to pick up the signatures.”

“It’s evident that the need of the people of Staten Island is to have someone to represent them well after all of the devastation we had with Hurricane Sandy. People are still struggling here over on the island,” the Staten Island resident said.
