The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 29, 2018

Letitia James, New York City Public Advocate, talks about her bid for the Democratic nomination for New York attorney general in the primary election on September 13th.

Asked to cite an issue difference, @TishJames says the #NYAG candidates are not really fundamentally different on any issues. But points to how they would handle ICE differently; says she supports abolishing and reforming it.

#NYAG candidate @TishJames doesn't want to be the "sheriff of Wall Street" because she says she wants to focus on a number of issues: women's rights, environment, consumer fraud, criminal justice, & more.
