(DCNF)—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.
California Justice & Public Safety PAC spent well over $5 million between 2018 and 2020 to elect Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon and Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price, campaign finance records show. With these prosecutors now facing tough elections that could boot them from office, however, Soros’ PAC has ceased its spending with $0 in expenditures recorded from 2023 to the present.
Soros provided the majority of California Justice & Public Safety PAC’s funding, pouring over $6 million into the committee between 2018 and 2021, according to campaign finance records. Gascon was the most recent beneficiary of the Soros-backed PAC, receiving over $4.5 million in support for his 2020 campaign.
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. Crime soared during Gascon’s first year in office, with homicide increasing by 11.8% in areas patrolled by the Los Angeles Police Department between 2020 and 2021, according to CBS News.
Gascon faced two recall attempts during his first term. Both the 2021 and 2022 efforts failed after falling short in terms of valid signatures.
The DA survived an open primary in May, during which he was up against 11 challengers, and garnered 25.2% of the vote, The New York Times reported.
Gascon is set to run against former federal prosecutor Nathan Hochman in the November general election.
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 unsuccessful 2018 campaign, is also traversing rough waters as she faces a strong recall effort and mounting controversies.
She ultimately won her 2022 election and took office on January 2, 2023. 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. Organizers claim Price’s policies contributed to rising crime in the county by prioritizing the interests of offenders over victims.
Alameda County Prosecutors’ Association, a union representing some of her employees, voted “overwhelmingly” to support the recall effort. The association claimed that Price had created “hostile work conditions” for employees of the district attorney’s office.
Patti Lee, formerly a spokesperson for the Alameda County district attorney’s office, sued Price in June, alleging that she had made racist remarks towards Asians and that she had chosen “to hide, delete and change” public records to avoid complying with lawful requests.
Price ran for office on a platform of reducing the number of people in prison, bringing down sentences for offenders under the age of 25 and cracking down on purported police abuses, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Gascon and Price collectively preside over more than 11 million people across their jurisdictions, according to Census Bureau estimates.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
You know, I’m really tired of seeing his puss every time I go online for news. Can’t you fellows just ignore him and hope he goes away?
