New York, Oct 30 (SocialNews.XYZ) New York State Attorney General, Letitia James on Friday announced that she is running for the post of New York Governor.
"I'm running for Governor of New York because I have the experience, vision, and courage to take on the powerful on behalf of all New Yorkers," said James on her social media account.
James is going to face a Democratic primary race against New York Governor Kathy Hochul, who was sworn in as New York's first female governor in August following the resignation of former Governor Andrew Cuomo on sexual harassment scandals, Xinhua news agency reported.
