Teachout fights Cuomo appeal in Brooklyn court, calls for debate
Zephyr Teachout, battling Gov. Andrew Cuomo for a spot on the ballot in the Sept. 9 Democratic primary, spoke to reporters in Brooklyn Heights Tuesday morning on the steps of the state appeals court.
She was there to fend off Cuomo’s appeal of last week’s state Supreme Court ruling that Teachout does indeed meet the residency requirement to run for governor.
Two Cuomo campaign interns filed the appeal, accusing Teachout of “retroactively” changing her residency to New York state when she decided to run for governor, according to AP.
