Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
As Attorney General, my most important responsibility is keeping New Yorkers safe by enforcing the laws that protect our people from harm. But another fundamental part of my job is to seek to advance the basic American principle of equal justice under law.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
If you have faith in the public sector, as I do, you must be the harshest critic of corruption, waste and fraud in government.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
I am running for Attorney General because I believe there is no higher calling than the pursuit of justice.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
Throughout my career, I have made rooting out public corruption a top priority.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
Anyone who believes in the essential role government can play in improving people's lives must also be the toughest critics of those who abuse the public trust.

No woman should have her personal health care decisions dictated by the religious beliefs of her boss.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
The bottom line is clear: Climate change is a reality, and it is having a real impact.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
When the trust between the police and the communities they serve breaks down, everyone is at risk.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
I have the highest possible regard for the district attorneys in the State of New York.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
Once they are charged, too many poor New Yorkers find themselves trapped by our unjust bail system. Unable to pay for bail, they languish in Rikers Island or other jails while they await trial, regardless of guilt.

In a system that disproportionately harms poor people and people of color, too many Americans have lost faith in the essential American principle of equal justice under law.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
Very few checklist liberals will focus on transformational work if they are rewarded or punished only for their transactional work.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
In 1980, a young Senator Al Gore held the first Congressional hearings on global warming.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
Transformational politics requires us to challenge the way people think about issues, opening their minds to better possibilities.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
Transactional politics requires us to be pragmatic about current realities and the state of public opinion. It's all about getting the best result possible given the circumstances here and now.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
By cracking down on wage theft, we can make sure workers and taxpayers are not getting ripped off by crooked employers.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
The workers who harvest our food have been systematically denied the basic rights that are granted to all other American workers. They can be fired for trying to form a union or for attempting to improve their working conditions. They are not eligible for overtime pay, disability, or even unemployment insurance.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
Right here in New York, people are struggling in working conditions not much safer or fairer than the sweatshops of 1911.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
More money is being spent on our elections, with less disclosure of where that money is coming from, than ever before.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
When a donor is asked to contribute to a group whose innocuous-sounding name makes it appear to be doing work in the public interest, that donor should have a clear picture of where his or her money is going.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
As the state's top lawyer, I am empowered to protect nonprofit donors from fraudulent solicitations and charitable assets from misuse.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
Thieves sell to unscrupulous merchants who pay hundreds of dollars for phones - no questions asked - and then 'jailbreak' them. They unlock the units, erase their data, reprogram them, and put them up for resale.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
A factory-installed security measure - one that phone owners would have to opt out of, rather than opting in - could automatically render purloined devices inoperable on any network, anywhere in the world. No resale value, no thefts.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
These facts are clear: Trump University was an unlicensed enterprise promising students that they would become wealthy by learning Trump's real estate tips and strategies, taught by his handpicked instructors.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
As the state's chief law enforcement officer, it's my job to see that perpetrators of fraud are brought to justice.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
Trump University had neither a license nor a charter from New York State certifying it as an institution of higher education.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
Just as we demand that people take responsibility for their actions, we as a society must take responsibility for fighting injustice.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
A statute that lets some wrongfully convicted individuals seek restitution but denies that right to others is an unjust and unequal application of the law.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
People plead guilty or admit to crimes they didn't commit for various reasons. Certain interrogation procedures produce high rates of false confessions.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
When someone makes a claim against the state, that person must legally verify that the facts in the claim are true.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
Lawmakers zealously guard their prerogatives, and as much as some might oppose a minimum-wage increase, they will not want to see the issue taken out of their hands.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
The secret's out: New York's Labor Law provides the power to help low-wage workers earn enough to meet their basic needs.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
A staunch abolitionist, Hamilton was one of the founding members of the New York Manumission Society. He was a trustee and namesake of Hamilton-Oneida Academy, an upstate New York school dedicated to educating Native-American boys.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
There are few people who exemplify the ideals of opportunity, entrepreneurship and commitment to the collective good than the great New Yorker and the face of the $10 bill, Alexander Hamilton.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
Games of chance often involve some amount of skill; this does not make them legal. Good poker players often beat novices. But poker is still gambling, and running a poker room - or online casino - is illegal in New York.
Quote by -Eric Schneiderman
The Supreme Court should follow settled precedent and allow states like New York to manage our own labor relations to achieve labor peace and government efficiency and to continue our long tradition of support for workers.
