Fordham Law Professor Zephyr Teachout‘s congressional run was written about on the online publication Common Dreams.
She has already raised over $500,000, a large portion of which came from small money donors. She has also garnered endorsements from local Democratic groups, Democracy For America, the Working Families Party, and established politicians, such as Congressmen Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY).
If Teachout is elected to Congress, her victory will have national implications. Her desire to make government work for the people has prompted some to suggest that she could very well become the next Elizabeth Warren.
