New York billionaire George Soros’ efforts to swing California’s criminal justice system in a more progressive direction fell short Tuesday with major defeats in multiple district attorneys races across the Golden State.
As previously reported by The Western Journal, Soros spent more than $2.7 million in California DA races this election cycle.
Among the contests the self-described philanthropist waded into were San Diego County (where he spent $1.5 million), Sacramento Country ($400,000), Alameda ($559,000), and Contra Costa County ($275,000).
The Los Angles Times reported that Soros worked in conjunction with other wealthy donors to back “would-be prosecutors who want to reduce incarceration, crack down on police misconduct and revamp a bail system they contend unfairly imprisons poor people before trial.”
The Soros-supported candidates lost big in San Diego, Sacramento and Alameda counties, while the race is still too close to call in Contra Costa County in the San Francisco Bay Area.

In Sacramento County, Republican District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert defeated Noah Phillips by almost a 2-to-1 margin, garnering nearly 65 percent of the vote.
In Alameda Country, located in the Bay Area, incumbent Democrat District Attorney Nancy O’Malley defeated Pamela Price, receiving more than 60 percent of the vote tally.
“Soros’ PAC accused O’Malley during the campaign of implementing ‘racist’ stop-and-frisk policies and Price criticized her for being cozy with law enforcement groups,” according to Fox.
