Come out, come out, wherever you are, Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo is laying low as his Democratic primary challenger Zephyr Teachout crisscrosses the state, challenging the governor to a debate. His campaign is reviewing the governor's schedule to see if he has time before the Sept. 9 primary.

Flatbush district leader Rodneyse Bichotte alienated many people in her community last year when she backed Bill de Blasio for mayor over former Controller Bill Thompson.
But the unpopular decision is paying off. Bichotte now vying for an open Assembly seat in Brooklyn is one of four little-known candidates Mayor de Blasio has chosen to endorse because they were early backers of his underdog campaign

From the morning memo, ICYMI:
Getting out the vote: Its an important aspect of political campaigns thats rarely seen publicly by voters, but deeply important for candidates.
For the primary campaigns of Zephyr Teachout and Tim Wu, theyre relying on a combination of grassroots support and labor groups that have endorsed them.
