New York – New York Attorney General Letitia James released the following statement last night after winning re-election:
“Tonight, we heard from New Yorkers from across the state, and I am so proud to earn a second term as your Attorney General. Over the past four years, we have worked tirelessly to make New York a place where there is only one system of justice for all, and tonight is an affirmation of all that we have accomplished. In our first term, we have taken thousands of guns off the streets and cracked down on dangerous drug and crime rings; we have taken on Big Pharma for its role in the opioid crisis and delivered more than $2 billion to New Yorkers; we have protected women’s rights, immigrant communities, and the future of our planet; and we have fought for the rights of everyday people from Brooklyn to Buffalo.
“But as long as any New Yorker feels unsafe, can’t afford to live in their community, or is locked out of the sunshine of opportunity, we still have work to do. I will continue to fight for the rights of every person in our great state and ensure the rule of law is applied equally to everyone.”
