A review of Federal Communications Commission records shows that the Soros-funded California Justice and Public Safety PAC is planning to air commercials on at least two San Diego-area news stations. Federal documents show that the political committee has made plans with Fox 5 to broadcast commercials, as well as with KUSI. The KUSI deal was worth $39,660. It's unclear if a deal has been finalized with Fox 5.
State campaign finance records show that the California Justice and Public Safety PAC has received $275,000 in contributions, all of which came through two donations by Soros.
A new website launched by Republican Summer Stephan, the appointed incumbent, associates Soros with the far-left group Antifa. The website ThreatToSanDiego.com features a photo of Soros superimposed over an image of Antifa demonstrators. Also on the site's homepage, under the headline "Who does Soros support?" is another photo of what appear to be Antifa demonstrators burning an American flag.
Antifa, short for "anti-fascist," is a fairly disorganized group which gained notoriety in the U.S. after violent clashes with the so-call "alt-right" in Berkeley last year.
The website says Soros is supporting Jones-Wright as "the anti-law enforcement candidate for D.A."
