What to Know About Soros funded Kathy Hochul, Cuomo’s Possible Successor

quote:
House Majority PAC – a so-called super PAC that can raise unlimited money from individuals, corporations and unions – this week reported raising $800,000 in the two months leading up to the election, which was won by Democrat Kathy Hochul.

The big donations to House Majority PAC mostly came after the operatives behind House Majority PAC and a few linked groups traveled to California to pitch a meeting of a wealthy liberal donor network run by - among others - Sussman and Michael Vachon, a top Soros aide.

The Democratic political class in recent months has been closely watching Soros, whom they regard as a bellwether of sorts for the intentions of other major donors. Since he contributed more than $20 million to Democratic advertising and get-out-the vote efforts in the run-up to the 2004 presidential election, Soros has focused his domestic giving on more less-electorally oriented groups, including the Center for American Progress.

But Vachon said House Majority PAC is the only super PAC to which Soros has given.
