Campaign themes

2018

Eve’s campaign website stated the following:

“	New Yorkers need a strong voice and a steady hand during these challenging times. Whether it is defending the fundamental rights of our citizens, ensuring consumers are protected, combatting housing discrimination, or safeguarding our environmental resources, I will be an independent advocate for all New Yorkers. As New York’s chief legal officer I will ensure that everyone has a fair shot and an opportunity to thrive, and establish legal standards that will stand the test of time. New York currently faces unprecedented challenges — under attack by a federal administration that refuses to enforce, and seeks to roll back, progress we have fought hard to achieve. With your support, I will protect and defend our state against those who would seek to undermine the rights of our citizens and help make New York stronger than ever.	”
—Leecia Eve’s campaign website (2018)
