Zephyr Teachout is running for US House in Hudson Valley, NY.

Zephyr Teachout, a Fordham University law professor and former gubernatorial candidate, announced this afternoon she is running for Congress in the Hudson Valley.

Ms. Teachout, who rose to prominence after she unsuccessfully challenged Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the 2014 Democratic primary, announced her candidacy on Twitter after publicly mulling a decision for several weeks. A progressive darling, she already has the support of the liberal Working Families Party and Progressive Change Campaign Committee, which will allow her to raise a significant amount of cash quickly.



Last month, she endorsed Bernie Sanders:
