You may be very unfamiliar with Governor Andrew Cuomo's two Democratic primary opponents this fall. Here is a closer look at the candidate who you've probably already written off.

The first, Zephyr Teachout, is a Fordham Law professor who recently had her nominating petitions for the September 9th primary upheld in court.

  • banning hydrofracking across New York
  • a $15 per hour minimum wage
  • free public transportation for those who can't afford it
