The Resume

    Born in Brooklyn, New York City, New York
    Attorney General of New York (Assumed office January 1, 2019)
    New York City Public Advocate (January 1, 2014 – December 31, 2018)

Why she might be annoying:

    Her nickname is Tish.
    She briefly ran to replace Governor Cuomo after he resigned in scandal.
    She dropped the bid after barely a month - stating she wanted to finish out her term as AG.
    Her office started an investigation into The Trump Organization's business dealings (May 18, 2021), which means that Trump isn't exactly her biggest fan.
    For instance, when she suspended her run for governor, Trump said in a statement: 'You should not be in office. This could well be the reason you were just rejected by the people of NY in your inept run for governor. You didn’t quit for a higher purpose, you quit because your poll numbers were atrocious — you didn’t have a chance. New York got lucky!'
    Another gem: 'Happy Easter to failed gubernatorial candidate and racist Attorney General Letitia James! May she remain healthy despite the fact that she will continue to drive business out of New York while at the same time keeping crime, death, and destruction high in New York!'

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is one of eight siblings.
    She was a public defender for the Legal Aid Society and established the Urban Network.
    She is the first African-American and first woman to be elected New York Attorney General.
    She headed the investigation both into Governor Cuomo's COVID-19 policy related to nursing home deaths and into the sexual harassment allegations against him - permanently damaging his image and forcing his resignation.
    She has supported policies protecting women from other states who seek an abortion in New York.
    She has supported investigations into the role of social media companies in spreading misinformation and cyberbullying.
    Her investigation into Trump's business dealings has been so effective that it resulted in a New York State judge briefly holding the former President in contempt of court for defying a subpoena relating to possible fraud at his organization.
