Zephyr Teachout grew up in a small rural town with a Constitutional Law Professor father who had been active in the civil rights movement, and a mother who is now a state court judge. From an early age, she learned how to herd sheep, weed potatoes, be polite to people that she disagreed with, and never back down from a hard fight.
She describes the Attorney General’s job as “beating up the bad guys and doing justice.”
