Harvard Lawyer Challenges AG James | Albany News

Harvard Law grad and former federal prosecutor Saritha Komatireddy is launching a bold challenge against New York Attorney General Letitia James, promising to make the state safer by cracking down on crime, fraud, and homelessness. With a background that includes leading the DEA’s chief of staff role and a failed federal judgeship nomination, Komatireddy — a mother of four making her first political run — accuses James of neglecting core duties, focusing too much on high-profile cases against Trump and failing to recover taxpayer money from Medicaid fraud. She vows to prioritize violent criminals and enforce the law based on facts, even defending state laws she disagrees with. James’ camp counters that Komatireddy is echoing partisan talking points while ignoring James’ record of securing funding and protecting New Yorkers.
