New York Democratic candidates in competitive races took campaign donations from board members of the Westchester People’s Action Coalition, a left-wing nonprofit, and the Soros family, which are both pouring money into antisemitic encampments on college campuses.
Former Rep. Mondaire Jones, who is running to win back his seat in New York’s 17th Congressional District this year, has received more than $35,000 in donations from billionaires George and Alex Soros since 2022, FEC filings show.
Those contributions included $6,000 donations apiece from the father-son duo in December, as the progressive hopes to unseat freshman New York Republican Rep. Mike Lawler.
During his first campaign and later term in Congress, Jones also received more than $3,400 from a board member of the WESPAC, a fiscal sponsor of the anti-Israel groups Within Our Lifetime and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).
