Sean Teare is challenging incumbent DA Kim Ogg.
In January Teare filed a 183 page report with a fundraising total for the period of $278,817. DA Ogg raised $282,274 in the same time period.
In his report Teare raised $104,127 from 14 individuals and one PAC, the Texas Justice and Public Safety PAC. This PAC is solely funded by….wait for it….George Soros. They are based in Washington DC and have donated over $20,000 in an in-kind contribution for “research”. This isn’t his first time meddling in Texas politics. His organization and other far left groups focus on deep blue areas such as Travis County. With his donation challenger Jose Garza was able to outraise the DA 6-1. Harris County is blue but not as deep blue as Travis County.
Back in 2016 Soros backed Kim Ogg for DA by buying a $500,000 ad buy after donating $100,000 to her primary challenger Morris Overstreet who was woefully unqualified for the position. Now he has shifted away from Ogg, probably looking for a more “progressive” DA.
I think he is wasting his money. Sean isn’t that far lefty that Soros likes to fund. Personally I would rather Soros and all the far left organizations stay out of our local politics. Here are Teare’s biggest donors:
