Washington, DC – Today, following New York Attorney General Letitia James announcing her candidacy in New York’s 2022 gubernatorial race, Sean Rankin, Executive Director of the Democratic Attorneys General Association, released the following statement:

“Attorney General Letitia James has been a national star in some of the most impactful and important fights that have faced New York and our country. Whether it’s taking on the NRA or Donald Trump, Attorney General James has been a protector of consumers, an advocate for the values we share, and a champion for those in need. We know she will be an outstanding governor, given her experience and passion fighting for working people. We are sorry to see her leave the Attorney General ranks, but we know New Yorkers would be fortunate to have Attorney General James leading New York as their next governor.”
