Teachout Survives Cuomo’s Ballot Challenge

A state judge on Monday ruled Zephyr Teachout can remain on the Democratic primary ballot next month, setting up a three-way contest between the Fordham law professor, incumbent Gov. Andrew Cuomo and comedian-activist Randy Credico.

In a statement, Teachout renewed her call for a debate with Cuomo.

“Today we beat the Governor and his old boys club in court. His two attempts to knock me off the ballot have failed — first by challenging my petition signatures, and second by challenging my residency. We won Rounds 1 and 2. Now it’s time for Round 3: a debate,” she said in a statement. “New York Democrats deserve a debate between Andrew Cuomo and myself about the issues that real New Yorkers care about: schools, fracking, corruption and building a fair and strong economy.”
