Saritha Komatireddy / Saritha Komatireddy Campaign
Republican candidate Saritha Komatireddy has secured her party’s nomination for New York attorney general and will advance to the general election in November, her campaign announced April 10.
The development sets up a contest with incumbent Attorney General Letitia James.
“With no primary opponent, our campaign is now focused on taking our case directly to the people of New York,” Komatireddy said. “This election is a choice between electing a law enforcement leader who will make New York safer and will fairly and impartially enforce the law, and a politician who pursues partisan agendas and looks the other way while crime rises and New Yorkers pay the price.”
Komatireddy, a prosecutor and mother of four, is running on a platform centered on public safety, including reducing crime, homelessness and fraud, according to the release.

In a post on X, Komatireddy wrote that she was “honored to be the Republican nominee for Attorney General” and called for efforts to “take our state back and protect New York.”
“For too long, Letitia James has used the Attorney General’s office to pursue her own political agenda while failing to address the real issues facing our state,” Komatireddy said.
“Violent offenders are cycling back into our communities, homeless Americans are out on our streets, fraud is going unchecked, and hardworking New Yorkers are left to deal with the consequences.”
She also framed the campaign in personal terms.
“As a mother, this isn’t theoretical to me—I think about the kind of New York we are raising our children in,” Komatireddy said.
“Right now, too many families feel less safe, less secure, and less confident than they did just a few years ago.”
With the nomination secured, Komatireddy will face James in November as the campaign shifts toward the general election. Her campaign said it plans to expand its coalition and engage voters across the state in the coming months.
