It looks like New York Gov. Cuomo will face a Democratic primary in his bid for re-reelection.
Liberal professor, Zephyr Teachout, told a Manhattan Democratic club that petitions to advance her candidacy will be circulating beginning Friday.
Teachout challenged Cuomo for the Working Families Party ballot line last month. Cuomo beat her surprising insurgency but only after much arm twisting by Mayor de Blasio and union leaders who bankroll the Working Family Party (WFP).
WFP field director, Mile Boland, is quitting his party post to run her campaign.
“We’re coming out with our petitions (Friday),” Boland said.
He said a running mate for lieutenant governor will be announced shortly.
Labor lawyer Arthur Schwartz is her treasurer and Labor lawyer Arthur Schwartz is her treasurer.
Teachout, a professor at Fordham University, said she hopes to raise enough money to run a credible campaign against the well-funded incumbent.”
“My commitment to this campaign is I will tell the truth,” she said.
NYC Wins When Everyone Can Vote!
