Fordham Law Professor Zephyr Teachout was mentioned in a Vox article about candidates seeking to bring a “Bernie Congress” to life.
Though favored in the Democratic primary, Teachout is the underdog in the Republican-leaning Catskills region of the state, according to the Cook Political Report. Teachout began her career as an academic at Fordham and has written what Sanders recently called “the book” on money in politics, Corruption in America: From Benjamin Franklin’s Snuff Box to Citizens United.
