Oh, I can hear the pearl clutchers now, ranting about the Soros conspiracy to take over the world. Ha, ha! Sucks to be you, Republicans! Via the Texas Tribune:
A new group, run by alums of Beto O’Rourke’s 2022 campaign and funded by Democratic megadonor George Soros, has emerged this election cycle to take on the age-old challenge of turning Texas blue.
Texas Majority PAC has kept a relatively low profile since forming over a year ago in the wake of the 2022 election. But it raised $1.25 million through last year, and campaign finance reports due Tuesday are expected to show how the group — and Soros — have been spreading their money around the state.
Working with the PAC, Soros made made six-figure donations to three county parties — Dallas, Cameron and Hidalgo — and a few other groups that have a regional focus, according to figures first shared with The Texas Tribune.
The contributions are intended to help the entities register, contact and turn out voters “on a scale never seen before, year after year, in the key regions of our state,” the PAC’s deputy executive director, Katherine Fischer, said in a statement.
“We need millions of more dollars and hundreds of more full-time staff to do this,” Fischer said. “Texas Majority PAC works with partners across the state to create the conditions that will make flipping the state possible.”
