NEW YORK – Democrat Zephyr Teachout has ended her campaign for state attorney general.
Teachout, a resident of Clinton, announced her campaign when Attorney General Letitia James announced that she would seek the Democratic nomination for governor.
James has since decided to seek re-election to the position of attorney general. Once James dropped out of the Democratic primary for governor, Teachout announced this week that she was ending her run for attorney general.
“Our campaign for NY Attorney General has always been rooted in doing the best for New Yorkers. Attorney General Letitia James is an exceptional leader and dedicated public servant,” Teachout, a law professor, said in a statement on Sunday. “I strongly support Attorney General James in her re-election and her critical fights to deliver justice for the people of New York,” said Teachout.
