Three of the four Democrats running to be New York’s next attorney general said on Wednesday that, if they could convince the state Legislature to pass one bill when they take office in January, it would be legislation giving them more power to investigate and prosecute public corruption.

New York City Public Advocate Letitia James, widely considered a front-runner for the position, said she’s even spoke to Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and members of the state Senate about the proposal, which would give the state’s top law enforcement officer unprecedented power to probe public officials for violations of the state’s ethics laws.
