Billionaire George Soros and members of his family made $71,000 in political contributions to the campaign of New York Attorney General Letitia James, finance records show.
The donations came from Soros and several family members over the course of the election cycle, directed through permitted channels under campaign finance law. Letitia James, a Democrat, has been a high-profile state official known for legal actions against prominent national figures.
Political contribution disclosures list individual and family support totaling $71,000, reflecting financial backing from Soros and relatives for James’s campaign efforts. The attorney general’s political committee received the funds prior to the reporting deadline.
The transactions were reported in accordance with campaign finance rules, which require disclosure of contributions above specified thresholds. The filings list the amounts, donor names, and dates of the contributions.
Representatives for Soros and James have not provided additional comments about the donations beyond the public records. The reported support adds to the long history of political giving by Soros and family members across various races and causes.
The disclosure has drawn attention given James’s role in high-profile investigations and litigation involving national political figures. The contribution figures are part of broader campaign finance reporting that tracks funding sources for elected officials.
