“We need an attorney general who knows how to recover the billions of dollars in waste, fraud and abuse in Albany,” Wofford said. “We need an attorney general who knows the difference between the good case and bad one.”
Given that Wofford only just entered the race, his acceptance speech was the first chance he has had to make his views known to the public. He promised to not use the Martin Act to “threaten, bully and intimidate businesses into settlements,” and said former Attorney General Eliot Spitzer had “damaged our financial institutions”
He criticized Eric Schneiderman for launching “one progressive crusade after another.”
“They’re going to have to be reviewed,” Wofford says of the state’s cases against the federal government. “Some of them were clearly political in their genesis. We’re going to have to review them on the merits, and the ones that are not meritorious, we’re going to stop spending taxpayers' money on.”
