Letitia James: The not-so-secret weapon for New York mayoral candidate Adrienne Adams (D)
NEW YORK — New York City mayoral candidate Adrienne Adams lacks money, time and name recognition with just five-and-a-half weeks until the Democratic primary.
So she’s hoping to make up for those deficits with a top attribute: the support of Attorney General Letitia James, one of the state’s most popular Democrats.
“My candidate, the woman that I am supporting, a woman of faith, a woman of conviction, a woman without drama, someone who understands (how) we are struggling in the city of New York, and who can deliver and who has consistently delivered,” James said on Mother’s Day at a Brooklyn church, gesturing from the pulpit to her preferred mayoral candidate in the front row. “Ladies and gentlemen, I am supporting that sister: Adrienne Adams.”
James catapulted to national fame for winning lawsuits against President Donald Trump, and she remains very popular among the city’s Democratic primary voters. Short of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has yet to get involved in the race, James’ endorsement is among the most sought after from a Democratic politician in New York.

One of only a few people whose endorsement would be meaningful to me.
