Letitia James Wins Third Term as New York Attorney General

Letitia James won election to a third term as New York Attorney General on Tuesday, defeating Republican opponent Saritha Komatireddy. James campaigned on her record regarding public safety, nursing home accountability, and fraud, as well as her office's investigation into the death of inmate Robert Brooks at Marcy Correctional Facility.

During the campaign, James defended her tenure against accusations that she politicized her office. She stated that she must fight back against those who target New Yorkers and the interests of the state.

Komatireddy, a former federal prosecutor and partner at Holtzman Vogel, centered her platform on the deterioration of public safety. She called for significant changes to state bail laws and advocated for involuntary commitment policies.
