Campaign Finance: Letitia James (expenditures)

When I got asked to look into Letitia James’ financials last week, I really wasn’t expecting to find much. As you probably know, James is the Attorney General of New York who just secured a $454 million judgement against Donald Trump.

James was elected as the NY AG in 2018 and re-elected in 2022. Prior to that James was the NYC “public advocate” for 4 years and a NYC city council member for 8 years prior to that. Prior to elected office she was a public defender for Legal Aid.

IOW Letitia James is a lifelong public servant and other than a mishap in the 2010s where she neglected to list the Brooklyn brownstone she owns & rents out on her financial disclosure forms, she hasn’t had any public scandals.

With that being said, I’m not quite sure what I was expecting to find but I do know I wasn’t expecting what I found.

The first thing you’ll notice when you download and sort the expenditures of any politician running for reelection in a safe seat is how they use their campaign funds to supplement their lifestyles to a degree middle America could never dream of.

What do I mean? Well, in 2023 alone, James spent over $28,500 on hotels. Over $15,000 of that was spent on luxury hotels in Puerto Rico.

Now you are seeing where all that money kicked back from Ukraine and other places is going. It is being funneled to Democratic operatives thru Blue The Vote and many other Groups disguised as small donors but in fact are just computerized bots.

This.

Can you or I even fly once to LA, and stay in their fancy Hollywood hotel ... on campaign funds donated from out-of-state blind supporters?
