New York Attorney General Letitia James plans to run for governor, according to three people directly familiar with her plans who spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday.
James will enter the race as a formidable candidate for the Democratic nomination just months after issuing a damning report that drove Andrew Cuomo from office in a sexual harassment scandal.
The three people familiar with her plans were not authorized to speak publicly. James is expected to make an announcement later this week, according to one of the people.
Kimberly Peeler-Allen, a James campaign adviser said in a statement: Attorney General Letitia James has made a decision regarding the governors race. She will be announcing it in the coming days.

(13,501 posts)11. She released
a statement last week that addressed a comment Cuomo made about her that felt very Cuomo and politician to me. It was the first time I second guessed something she had done.
I wish she'd focus on her AG job right now. But I also am not surprised. So far I like Hochul, but she's quietly governing (something that's in direct opposition to what we are used to with Cuomo... and the last president.)
