#YonkersNY resident and state senator Shelley Mayer, is an attorney who has cultivated strong ties to organized labor during her time in both chambers of the Legislature.#ShelleyMayer‘s record as a moderate and reputation for being highly responsive to constituents could give her an edge against the competition depending on who else might jump into the race.
The now-four-time candidate and Fordham University law professor Zephyr Teachout has also officially announced her official entry into the state attorney general’s race.
The more liberal #ZephyrTeachout laid out her platform to battle corruption, tech monopolies and “greed” in the pharmaceutical industry.She also said she would advocate for women’s rights, climate justice and improved elder care if elected
.This is similar to past pledges in past campaigns for governor, state attorney general and Congress.
Political insiders say that Andrew Cuomo say he is considering mounting a comeback dark horse run for the office with his massive political war chest that has millions and millions of bucks.
Cuomo served as state attorney general from 2007 to 2010, the year he was elected governor.Plus there are at least half a dozen others saying they are entering the race.
