With much of the election energy focused on next year’s presidential election, most of the contests in New York State have stuck firmly to the all-the-politics-is-local playbook, hinging on issues like schools and crime.
But one district attorney race on the banks of Lake Ontario has become an unlikely big-money referendum on traditional law-and-order prosecutors, much like similar battles in Boston, Philadelphia and Queens, N.Y.
The race in Monroe County pits a Republican incumbent, Sandra Doorley, against an insurgent challenger, Shani Curry Mitchell, a progressive newcomer who has drawn the attention and backing from the billionaire George Soros.
Since early October, Mr. Soros has spent more than $800,000 on ads supporting Ms. Mitchell through one of his political action committees, helping to bring visibility to a candidate pledging to stop “the overprosecution of the poor” and minority groups, and restore trust between law enforcement and communities in the county.
The outside spending benefiting Ms. Mitchell, who is running on the Democratic and Working Families Party lines, has drawn a fiery rebuke from Republicans and Ms. Doorley, who accused Mr. Soros of meddling and foul play.
“George Soros doesn’t know a damn thing about me,” Ms. Doorley said. “His New York PAC doesn’t know a damn thing about me.”

The solution can’t be openly discussed.
Never heard of her. But if Soros is for her, I’m against her. Simple enough.
Oh, for the youth and skillset to rid civilization of that evil nazi bastard . . .
I don't even need to look.
It really bothers me to see a guy attempt to buy elections all across the nation.
If a billionaire on the Right did this, the Left would be on them like white on rice.
Dinesh D’sousa bundled $28,000 and got a felony conviction and 9 months in the federal pen. Soros bundles $800,000 and not a peep.
Deport this F*cker!
ML/NJ
BINGO!! That is the reason we are Losing this nation at a rapid pace!! No prayer on the face of this earth can change that!! In my opinion the RNC is dead along with that helpless do nothing idiot chairwoman McDaniel!! Candace Owen has done more for the party then that good for nothing RNC leader!
I don’t understand campaign finance laws at all. Soros give multi millions to leftis candidates and nothing. Dinesh D’Souza Is fined $30,000 and given jail time. Praying soros his leftist family and all the millionaire leftist loses all their money.
How can this POS, who has been found guilty of crimes in other countries, have ANY input into our elections and our government other than his allotted $2,500/year per candidate?
This is a man who said the following: “The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States.” How can he even still be an American citizen? How crazy are we?
just how long are Americans going to let SorozNazi keep doing it to this country?
just wondering.... everyone rallies for this and against that.....but not one district attorney and not even our Attorney General or the DOJ actually lifts a finger to stop this krap
Soros spent 1.2mm on Dim PRIMARIES to get progressives on the ballot for Commonwealth Attorney in Arlington and Fairfax Counties, VA.
We should not have 'leaders' in the RNC who don't want to destroy the Democrats. They want to destroy us, and it will take a warrior attitude to make them afraid and regretful that they ever started this fight.
This guy should have been dead years ago
