Letitia “Tish” James has had a long career in public service as a Democratic advocating for the public’s interests. Her work as a member of the New York City Counsel focuses on promoting various laws including one that gives grandparents rights in family court, and a bill that distributes money to reconstruct the Franklin Avenue Shuttle and Atlantic Terminal Station. James continues her fight for the public interest by proposing a bill that will ban employers from asking about a job candidate’s salary history in an effort to close the gender wage gap in America.
