Attorney General Candidates Set to Clash on Spectrum News

Komatireddy, a former federal prosecutor, is challenging James on crime and mental illness policy while Trump has endorsed her campaign.

  • On Thursday, State Attorney General Letitia James faced Republican challenger Saritha Komatireddy in a debate on Spectrum News, marking James's first return to a debate stage in eight years.
  • Komatireddy, a former federal prosecutor who brought successful cases against ISIS terrorists and Mexican drug cartels, challenges incumbent James, who draws on over two decades of political experience including City Council service.
  • Endorsed by President Donald Trump, who called James "essentially a dirty cop" at a Long Island rally in August, Komatireddy accuses James of "totally failing" to keep New Yorkers safe.
  • Dismissing the criticism, James stated her office "primarily focuses on civil investigations and not criminal investigations," vowing to continue acting as the People's Lawyer.
  • Facing an uphill battle to topple the incumbent, Komatireddy reiterated her pledge during a campaign stop in the Bronx last week to prosecute crime and fraud while addressing severe mental illness.
