Komatireddy Unveils 52-Count Mock Indictment of James as 52%-39% Race Heads to Debate

Summary
Hours before their first televised general-election debate, Republican challenger Saritha Komatireddy issued a 52-count mock indictment accusing New York Attorney General Letitia James of neglecting core law-enforcement duties.
The indictment faults James for failing to address street homelessness, repeat offenders, hate crimes, fraud and a rape-charging law, while focusing instead on political fights with President Donald Trump.
James’ campaign dismissed the move as a stunt and pointed to a same-day Medicaid fraud case, saying the attorney general announced the arrest and indictment of a Queens pharmacy owner in a $31 million scheme.
Komatireddy’s camp countered that crime rose 26%, homelessness 38% and New York ranked last in prosecuting Medicaid fraud during James’ tenure.
The attack lands in a race where James still leads 52% to 39% in a September Siena poll, though her margin narrowed by 5 points from August in the deep-blue state.
