As much as we all would love seeing Ted Cruz or Rick Scott join the ranks of the unemployed, no single election for the Senate or House will on its own will require the Trumps to be held accountable for their crimes. Each of those elections will be part of a group effort that may or may not be successful. But there is one election where the winner will have the power to directly hold the Trumps accountable...or not. That election is for the Attorney General of New York State. I hadn’t given this a thought until this Bloomberg News article popped up in my Google newsfeed today.
Bloomberg News on NYS AG election
According to Bloomberg, Republicans are planning to pour millions of dollars into this race. One of my consolations to my anxious self has been that no matter what happens in Washington, the Trumps will all still go to jail because of their financial frauds in New York. It never occurred to me that possibility was up for grabs, too. So, I want to encourage everyone to send a donation to the campaign of the Democratic candidate, Tish James. She’s a worthy public servant who would deserve our support regardless of the situation. Now in hersecond term as the New York City Public Advocate, she was the first black woman elected to city wide office in the Big Apple. Before that, she served for 10 years on the New York City Council. A donation Tish James may turn out to be most important one you make, depending on what happens in the House and Senate. The situation is well under the radar and I don’t really know where Tish James is going to get her funds. On the plus side, it could be under the Russian radar, too. Hopefully we can support Tish the way the we have stepped up for our heroes like Beto and Heidi and Bill Nelson. Here’s the link to the TishJames2018 website where you can read her bio and make a donation:
