The fight to remove New York's weaponized Attorney General Letitia James just got a major boost as Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) delivered a scathing endorsement of conservative challenger Saritha Komatireddy for the 2026 race.

Lawler didn't mince words in his brutal takedown of James, who spent years abusing her office to wage lawfare against President Trump while real crime plagued New York streets. The congressman's backing of former prosecutor Komatireddy signals growing momentum to finally boot the corrupt Democrat who turned the AG's office into her personal political weapon.

This endorsement comes as Republicans rally behind serious candidates who can actually restore law and order to the Empire State. Komatireddy, a former prosecutor with real credentials, represents everything James is not – a principled attorney focused on justice rather than partisan politics.

James' Reign of Political Terror Must End

For years, Patriots have watched in disgust as Letitia James perverted New York's justice system to serve her radical agenda. Instead of prosecuting violent criminals destroying communities, she obsessed over Trump properties and conservative organizations. While businesses fled New York and crime soared, James played political theater for the cameras.

The contrast couldn't be clearer. Komatireddy brings actual prosecutorial experience and a commitment to equal justice under law – revolutionary concepts for New York's current leadership. Her candidacy represents hope for New Yorkers tired of watching their state become a national laughingstock.

With Michael Henry, who challenged James in 2022, stepping aside to consolidate Republican support, the path is clearing for a unified conservative campaign. That's exactly what it will take to defeat the entrenched Democrat machine that has destroyed New York.

Time for Real Leadership

Lawler's endorsement sends a powerful message – Republicans are serious about taking back New York from the radical left. While James was busy filing frivolous lawsuits against President Trump, real New Yorkers suffered under crushing crime, failed policies, and political persecution.

The question now is whether New York voters are finally ready to reject the politics of destruction and choose a prosecutor who will actually prosecute criminals instead of political opponents. Patriots across the state better get ready to fight – because 2026 might be our last chance to save New York.

Exactly! She acts like upstate doesn't even exist unless it's election time.

Couldn't agree more. James has turned the AG office into her personal political weapon.

As a business owner in NYC, James' policies have made it nearly impossible to operate profitably. We desperately need someone who understands the real economy.

Same here. Need to vet them thoroughly - we can't afford another RINO.
