Soros contributions to LaHood DA challenger nears $1 million
Liberal billionaire George Soros earlier this month poured nearly $900,000 into the campaign of Joe Gonzales, a Democrat running to unseat Bexar County District Attorney Nicholas “Nico” LaHood in the party primary, according to reports filed Monday.
The contributions, coming from the Soros-backed Texas Justice & Safety political action committee, came in the form of in-kind contributions, mostly for mailers, media buys — including two TV ads — and related expenditures.
“This campaign is about true criminal justice reform,” Gonzales said Tuesday. “I’m proud to have the support of the Texas Justice and Public Safety PAC along with other national and local organizations who believe that it is time to have a true progressive Democrat in the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office.”
