Fordham University law professor Zephyr Teachout has officially dropped out of the race to be New York’s attorney general, days after incumbent Letitia James decided to seek reelection.

Teachout announced in a statement Sunday (Dec 12) she was suspending her campaign and called James “an exceptional leader and dedicated public servant.”

“I strongly support Attorney General James in her re-election and her critical fights to deliver justice for the people of New York,” Teachout said.
