New York Attorney General Letitia James Wins Reelection to a Second Full Term

New York Attorney General Letitia James was projected to win reelection on November 4, 2026, defeating Republican challenger Saritha Komatireddy. James, who first won the office in 2018 and was reelected in 2022, is known nationally for leading the state's civil fraud lawsuit against Donald Trump and his business organisation, which resulted in a court finding of liability. During the 2026 campaign, James emphasised her record of holding corporations and public officials accountable, taking on pharmaceutical companies over opioid pricing, and protecting New York consumers and workers. Her Republican challenger Komatireddy, a former federal prosecutor, ran on platforms of fiscal accountability and prosecutorial independence. James's reelection — alongside Governor Hochul's win and State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli's reelection — completed a Democratic sweep of all major New York statewide offices on the night. ABC7 New York projected James's victory during its live election-night coverage.
