Tish grabs the DemOKforAG
WITH SCREAMS of “Run, Tish, Run” echoing through the hall, state Democrats nominated city Public Advocate Letitia James for attorney general. James picked up more than 85% of the delegate vote to win the nomination over Fordham Law School Prof. Zephyr Teachout and former Gov. Cuomo and Hillary Clinton aide Leecia Eve. Teachout and Eve each failed to pickup the required 25% of the delegate vote that would have guaranteed them as pot on the ballot. The two said they will instead circulate petitions to get on the September primary ballot. In accepting the nomination, James (photo) warned that constitutional rights are under attack in Washington and“the attorney general stands at the vanguard as a wall of protection, not a wall of exclusion.” “I’m so proud you bestowed on me this designation because I’m well-prepared for the fight ahead,” she said.
