GARDEN CITY – State Republicans nominated a former prosecutor to run against Attorney General Letitia James Tuesday — avoiding a primary when a second candidate dropped of the race at the 11th hour. Saritha Komatireddy got the nod for AG after winning a substantial share of the weighted vote over Khurram Dara, as the statewide Republican ticket continued to solidify at the state GOP convention behind gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman. “While I was chasing terrorists across the Middle East, I saw right here in my backyard in New York public safety completely deteriorated,” Komatiredyy said, touting her record with the Eastern District before the nomination.
