New York State’s new Attorney General Letitia James is the first black woman to hold statewide office and she is also New York’s first African-American attorney general and the first woman elected to the position.
What many don’t know is that she got her start in Crown Heights.
“I’m an honorary Lubavitch,” she said in an interview before the election. She has served for a decade as a member of the New York City Council, representing the 35th Council District, which includes Crown Heights.
James will be coming back to her roots this week as she holds a “Jewish Community Meet & Greet Reception” to meet with local residents and discuss neighborhood’s concerns and how her new office can help.
The public event – which requires advanced registration – will be held Wednesday, January 30, 2019 at the Jewish Children’s Museum, 792 Eastern Parkway. Doors open at 5:00 pm and the program begins at 6:00 pm.
Refreshments will be catered kosher.
Maybe she will actually do something now she no longer represents Crown Heights & isn’t beholden to the Blacks.

Would you care to see the real CH? Or hang out with Halberstam Chania and co. At Basil?

Our new attorney general comes with a breadth of experience and in addition has practiced law for quite some time. She is qualified and also very well liked. Before you judge please give someone a chance to be in office as she was voted in with a huge margin. In addition she has worked with our community for decades so please lets give someone just moving to a new and very important office a little hakaros hatov ie benefit of the doubt (for the many that read this blog) And please do keep in mind that many outside of our… Read more »
BS”D Did you see where the new Attorney General of NY stated that come January she will be going after Trump on various fronts as well as those close to him. Pure hatred. And our powers that be endorsed her despite her above statements, now repeated, that if elected she is going after him. These people need to RESIGN immediately or shown the door. And they are not ashamed to host and posed
with her. Her position afootfs her the opportunity to do NOTHING for this community so why vow tie to her
