Soros’s New PAC Drops $625,000 on Virginia Democrats Ahead of Pivotal Elections freebeacon.com/politics/soros…
A new political action committee launched by liberal billionaire George Soros has donated $625,000 to the campaigns of more than a dozen statewide Democrats in Virginia ahead of next month's elections, according to recent campaign finance reports.
The Democracy PAC donated to 16 Democratic incumbents and new candidates last month. Donations ranged from $25,000 to $75,000 per campaign, according to the Virginia Public Access Project. Six of the campaigns are for the state Senate and nine of the races are for the House
Soros is not the only out-of-state billionaire betting big in Virginia races. Donald Sussman, a billionaire hedge-fund manager, donated $100,000 to Win Virginia PAC, which is aimed at helping Democrats minimize Republican control in Virginia's House of Delegates and Senate.
NextGen America, the nonprofit founded by Steyer, also spent $1 million in Virginia to register a minimum of 12,000 young voters. Steyer personally invested $110,000 from his own funds for these efforts, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
Outside liberal groups are also flooding Virginia Democrats with cash. Everytown for Gun Safety, one of the nation's largest gun control groups, announced that it was launching a $550,000 digital ad buy targeting 15 Republican-held House and Senate districts across the state.
Aside from the Planned Parenthood Action Fund donating $507,500 to Planned Parenthood Virginia's committee, the only other six-figure donation to PPV is from Soros's PAC, which donated $350,000 last month. PPV has in turn donated over $445,000 to Democrats so far this cycle.
