A PAC funded by George Soros that devoted millions to electing liberal district attorneys in California has yet to spend any money this election cycle, even as some of Soros-backed prosecutors face uncertain futures.
With these prosecutors now facing tough elections that could boot them from office Soros' PAC has ceased its spending with $0 in expenditures recorded from 2023 to the present.
Gascon, who won his election with 53.7% of the vote, announced shortly after that his office would no longer be prosecuting select crimes, including trespassing, disturbing the peace, driving without a license or a suspended license, making criminal threats, drug possession, drinking in public, loitering to commit prostitution and resisting arrest, according to a ABC 7, a local affiliate.
Gascon initially ran on a platform of reducing the number of people in jail by eliminating cash bail, increasing oversight on police officers and protecting people from immigration authorities, according to an archived copy of Gascon's website.
Price, who received roughly $700,000 in support from the California Justice & Public Safety PAC for her unsuccessful2018 campaign, is also traversing rough waters as she faces a strong recall effort and mounting controversies.
Violent crime increased by 21% in Oakland, the largest city in Alameda County, during Price's first ten months in office, according to police data.
Local activists seeking to remove Price from office collected enough signatures to hold a recall election, according to the Alameda County Registrar of Voters.
