State Assemblyman Clyde Vanel announced on Monday, Dec. 13, that he has suspended his campaign for New York state attorney general and will instead seek reelection to represent the 33rd Assembly District in southeast Queens.
Vanel’s announcement comes after New York State Attorney General Letitia James dropped out of the race for governor last week, saying she will instead seek reelection to the office to complete a number of important investigations and cases that are underway.
