Diane Ravitch Says She’s Not A Candidate

Nick Reisman

Diane Ravitch, the public education advocate who was floated as a possible candidate for governor under the Working Families Party, says in a blog post Thursday evening she isn’t running.

“I have not sought this designation nor am I running for any political office,” she wrote. “There are many well-qualified candidates, and I expect that WFP will choose one of them.”

Ravitch added, however, that she hopes the labor-backed party challenges in some form Democratic incumbent Gov. Andrew Cuomo, especially on education issues.
