EMILY’s List Backs Letitia James, Andrew Cuomo’s Candidate for New York Attorney General
EMILY’s List announced on Tuesday its endorsement of Letitia James for New York attorney general, an unusual move for the women’s group that tends to shy away from races with more than one viable woman in the primary.
James is facing a serious challenge from law professor and former gubernatorial candidate Zephyr Teachout. Leecia Eve, a telecom lobbyist, is also running. The endorsement from the group, which works to elect pro-choice women, came about without a competitive process or the typical trappings of interviews with candidates or even questionnaires, sources briefed on the matter told The Intercept.
