Mark Green Backs Teachout-Wu

Nick Reisman

Former New York City Public Advocate Mark Green endorsed on Tuesday the insurgent Democratic ticket of Zephyr Teachout and Tim Wu for governor and lieutenant governor.

Green is a frequent critic of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and ran against him in the crowded 2006 Democratic primary for attorney general.

Green called both Teachout and Wu “fellow progressive Democrats” and said he hoped for more from Cuomo, whom he said was far too transactional a political figure.
