Progressive Democrat Zephyr Teachout lost one of the hardest-fought House races in the country Tuesday night, narrowly edged out by Republican John Faso in the contest to represent New York’s 19th District.
Teachout’s fiery attacks on corporate monopolies and political corruption have made the race a key battleground for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party represented by Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
