Glens Falls, NY – Today, anti-corruption leader and champion for New York’s working families Zephyr Teachout announced her endorsement of Dylan Hewitt for Congress in New York’s 21st District. A renowned figure in antitrust law, Teachout previously ran for New York Governor and Attorney General, and handily carried a majority of NY-21’s 15 counties. Her support solidifies Hewitt as the only candidate in this race prepared to hold the powerful accountable and take on the monopolies that have jacked up costs for New Yorkers.

“The North Country is one of the most beautiful places in New York, with extraordinary people, waterways, and fertile land. It’s been beaten down by decades of bad trade deals and squeezed by big corporations that are buying up and closing hospitals, price gouging, and steamrolling farming communities. Dylan Hewitt is ready to take on the big bullies, support local jobs, and power the local economy,” said Teachout. “He supports Medicare for All and sees corporate consolidation for what it is: a direct attack on our freedom, our democracy, and our economic future. He knows that a strong trade policy is the heart of a strong local economy. He isn’t scared to stand up to UnitedHealthcare and support Medicare for All. I’m proud to support Dylan’s campaign for Congress because working families in NY-21 deserve a representative with a backbone who will challenge corporate power, reject Super PAC politics, and fight to make life affordable.”

"Zephyr Teachout has always stood with the working people of New York, no matter how wealthy or powerful the opponent," said Dylan Hewitt. "She has been an unrelenting champion of the anti-monopoly movement and has taken on the corporations driving up grocery, healthcare, and utility costs for our families. I will take that same fight to Congress — to hold billionaires accountable, break up the power monopolies have over our economy, and lower costs. I’m honored to have her support in my campaign to represent New York’s 21st District, and I’m grateful for her leadership and trust.”

Dylan Hewitt is a seventh-generation Upstate New Yorker, born and raised in South Glens Falls. At 17, he led the South High Marathon Dance, a hometown tradition that has raised millions for families to afford basic needs and medical expenses. He served our country as a White House Trade Official and held a top-secret clearance to protect American workers, take on rising costs, and strengthen our national security. Now, Dylan Hewitt is running for Congress to fight for a fairer, more affordable future in the North Country — where a full-time job pays enough to raise a family and no one has to drive two hours just to see a doctor.
