George Soros-backed district attorney candidates sweep elections
Fox News
A handful of far-left district attorney candidates backed by liberal billionaire George Soros have won their general elections, including in Maine, Iowa and Texas.
Soros' district attorney operation involves his longtime treasurer, Whitney Tymas, establishing "pop-up" political action committees in states where he targets the prosecutor races. Once set up, the financier injects money into the PACs, which tend to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars backing his preferred candidates. The PACs typically dissolve after the elections.

In some past cases, Tymas established committees on the city level, such as in Philadelphia for District Attorney Larry Krasner. Fox News Digital's sweep solely covered state databases, which means there could be more candidates.
