Issue Position: Corruption

Issue Position

James is the only candidate who has a proven record of cleaning up corruption in Albany to make sure that our leaders are putting Hudson Valley residents ahead of their own bottom lines. As Chairman, James completely revitalized the Senate's investigations committee to get real answers for all New Yorkers.

In his first year leading the investigations committee, James scrutinized lax building code enforcement; drug company middle-men who were ripping off our seniors; so-called economic development agencies that were ripping off our taxpayers; anti-consumer event ticketing practices; and illegal housing discrimination. His committee is now examining the state's response to the COVID-19 pandemic in nursing homes, hospitals, and the workplace.

James has also supported important legislation that looks to take money out of politics and return our democracy where it belongs: to the people.
