竞选财务文件显示，索罗斯家族在本次选举周期中已向致力于推选进步派检察官的政治行动委员会（PAC）注入超过100万美元资金。
尽管有人预测，在2022年至2024年遭遇一系列失败后，索罗斯支持的地区检察官将成为历史，但记录显示这个自由派家族正再次启动其刑事司法改革运动。根据公开记录，由乔治·索罗斯之子亚历克斯·索罗斯掌舵的民主行动委员会，在2025年3月至2026年4月期间向正义与公共安全政治行动委员会的联邦及非联邦分支注资约170万美元。
这笔新增的资金表明，尽管选民的反对浪潮已将数十名与其资助有关联的检察官赶下台或替换，但索罗斯网络正重建其努力，以期在2026年选举前影响地方刑事司法政策。
通过向正义与公共安全政治行动委员会投入大量资源，该家族正让该组织再次能够影响那些保释、起诉和量刑决定可能彻底重塑公共安全的竞选活动。

数十年来由亿万富翁投资者、慈善家乔治·索罗斯领导的索罗斯家族，已在慈善基金会和政治委员会上投入巨资，用于推进自由派候选人及全球人权事业，包括通过刑事司法改革及其他举措让社会更加公平。老索罗斯在2023年将家族约250亿美元的慈善及政治网络控制权移交给了儿子亚历克斯。
根据影响力观察组织的数据，正义与公共安全政治行动委员会曾为多名在保守派圈子里声名狼藉的检察官提供资金支持。其中包括加州前阿拉米达县地区检察官帕梅拉·普莱斯、前洛杉矶县地区检察官乔治·加斯孔、费城地区检察官拉里·克拉斯纳、前圣路易斯巡回检察官金·加德纳以及前伊利诺伊州库克县州检察官金·福克斯。
批评者指责这些检察官未能将危险的社会成员投入监狱，导致犯罪率上升。而支持者则认为，解决贫困和不平等等犯罪根源问题，能够在犯罪发生前加以预防，且对罪犯的严厉惩罚会助长累犯。
以加斯孔为例，据《洛杉矶时报》报道，他下令检察官不要对多项量刑加重情节提起诉讼，而这些情节可让罪犯被判处更长刑期，同时大幅减少其办公室审理的轻罪案件数量。随着犯罪率上升，他面临了严重的内部反对，据Politico报道，普通检察官几乎全票支持对他进行罢免。

与此同时，克拉斯纳因在其任职期间该市凶杀案数量创历史新高，同时减少了起诉数量而遭到谴责。
这些争议并未对索罗斯支持的检察官群体毫无影响。
2024年参选的25名与索罗斯有关联的地区检察官中，有12名要么落选要么被罢免，其中包括加斯孔。执法法律辩护基金政策主任肖恩·肯尼迪当时告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，自2022年以来其组织确认的75名与索罗斯有关联的检察官中，有50名已经离任或被更为温和的官员取代。

正义与公共安全政治行动委员会在弗吉尼亚州2025年选举中支持了一名进步派检察官，这或许能为其在2026年选举日临近时将资助的候选人类型提供一些线索。
竞选财务记录显示，该委员会斥六位数资金支持诺福克联邦检察官拉明·法特希的参选。保守派批评法特希反对现金保释、拒绝起诉入店行窃等罪行，以及参与旨在起诉联邦移民执法人员的检察官联盟。
“传统的公共安全观点没有考虑外部因素，它只将犯罪本身视为一种罪恶，”法特希在2021年的一次采访中说道。“我所不同的看法是，承认犯罪是一种症状。它是结构性种族主义、系统性社区投资不足、红线政策、不平等的学校政策、缺乏就业机会、缺乏交通、缺乏机遇、代际财富积累障碍以及对精神疾病治疗投入不足等问题的症状。”
索罗斯本人在2022年的一篇文章中也提出了类似观点，称进步派检察官可以通过投入资源解决犯罪根源问题，而非长期监禁罪犯，来改善公共安全。他在文中支持自己的论点称，“美国黑人被送进监狱的可能性是白人的五倍”，这是“破坏我们民主的不公正现象”。

据税务文件显示，2026年大选前，索罗斯家族还有其他资金来源用于实现其政治目标，其中包括2024年收入近1.6亿美元的501(c)(4) advocacy组织开放社会基金会。
福克斯新闻数字频道周一联系索罗斯家族的慈善机构开放社会基金会置评，但该基金会未予回应。
Soros network rebuilds progressive prosecutor push after string of election losses

Rep Wesley Hunt says Texas needs ‘more police’ as Dems push against law enforcement
Congressman Wesley Hunt, a Republican from Texas, strongly condemns the Democratic Party’s anti-police rhetoric and ‘defund the police’ movement. Hunt argues that leftists believe criminals are victims, leading to increased crime rates and unsafe communities for the most vulnerable. He emphasizes the need for strong law enforcement, contrasting it with the left’s demonization of police.

The Soros family has pumped more than $1 million into political action committees (PACs) dedicated to electing progressive prosecutors this election cycle, campaign finance documents show.
While some predicted that Soros-backed district attorneys would become a thing of the past after sustaining a string of defeats between 2022 and 2024, records suggest that the liberal family is giving their criminal justice reform crusade another go. Democracy PAC, now run by George Soros’s son Alex, pumped roughly $1.7 million into the federal and non-federal arms of the Justice & Public Safety PAC between March 2025 and April 2026, according to public records.
The renewed spending signals that the Soros network is rebuilding its effort to shape local criminal justice policy ahead of the 2026 elections, despite a voter backlash that removed or replaced dozens of prosecutors linked to its funding.
By directing significant resources to Justice & Public Safety PAC, the family is positioning the group to again influence races where decisions on bail, charging and sentencing can drastically reshape public safety.

The Soros family, led for decades by billionaire investor and philanthropist George Soros, has spent heavily on charitable foundations and political committees to advance liberal candidates and human rights worldwide, including efforts to make society more equitable through criminal justice reform and other initiatives. The elder Soros transferred control of the family’s roughly $25 billion philanthropic and political network to his son Alex in 2023.
Justice & Public Safety PAC is the organization responsible for providing financial backing to a number of prosecutors who have since become infamous in conservative circles, according to Influence Watch. Among these are former Alameda County, California, District Attorney Pamela Price, former Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, former St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner and former Cook County, Illinois, State Attorney Kim Foxx.
Critics charge that these prosecutors fail to incarcerate dangerous members of society, leading to increased crime. Supporters, meanwhile, maintain that addressing the root causes of crime, such as poverty and inequality, will stop offenses before they occur and that harsh punishments for criminals incentivizes recidivism.
Gascon, for one, attracted criticism for ordering his prosecutors not to pursue many sentencing enhancements, which can result in criminals being put away for longer, and for drastically reducing the number of misdemeanors tried by his office, according to the Los Angeles Times. He faced significant internal dissent as crime rates climbed, with rank-and-file prosecutors voting nearly unanimously to support a recall effort against him, Politico reported.

AS SOCIALIST MAYOR BATTLES ICE, SEATTLE POLICE AND CRIME VICTIMS SAY REPEAT OFFENDERS ARE TERRORIZING THE CITY
Krasner, meanwhile, has been denounced for presiding over a historic homicide spike in his city while he reduced prosecutions.
These controversies were not without consequences for Soros-backed prosecutors.
Of the 25 district attorneys with links to Soros that appeared on the ballot in 2024, 12 were either defeated or recalled, including Gascon. Sean Kennedy, the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund’s policy director, told Fox News Digital at the time that, of the 75 Soros-linked prosecutors his organization had identified since 2022, 50 had either left office or been replaced with more moderate officials.

Justice & Public Safety backed a progressive prosecutor in Virginia’s 2025 election, providing some potential insight into the kinds of candidates it will bankroll as Election Day 2026 approaches.
The committee spent six figures backing the candidacy of Norfolk Commonwealth Attorney Ramin Fatehi, campaign finance records show. Conservatives criticized Fatehi over his opposition to cash bail, his resistance to prosecuting crimes like shoplifting and his participation in a coalition of prosecutors aiming to prosecute federal immigration agents.
“The old-fashioned view about public safety was not taking into account externalities. It was focused on the idea of crime as an evil unto itself,” Fatehi said in a 2021 interview. “Where I part ways is in recognizing that crime is a symptom. It’s a symptom of structural racism, of systematic community disinvestment, of redlining, unequal school policy, the lack of jobs, lack of transportation, a lack of opportunities, intergenerational barriers to wealth building, the disinvestment in the treatment of the mentally ill.”
Soros himself similarly argued in a 2022 essay that progressive prosecutors can improve public safety by using resources to address the root causes of crime rather than resorting to jailing criminals for long periods of time. Supporting his claim, he wrote that “black people in the U.S. are five times as likely to be sent to jail as white people,” which is “an injustice that undermines our democracy.”

The Soros family has other sources of cash available to fund its political goals ahead of 2026, including the Open Society Foundation, a 501(c)(4) advocacy group that brought in nearly $160 million in 2024, according to tax documents.
The Open Society Foundation, the Soros family’s philanthropy, did not respond to a request for comment when reached by Fox News Digital Monday.
