Pelosi-Affiliated PAC Sends Cash to Soros-Funded PAC Targeting Infrequent Voters

Campaign led by four liberal activist groups, plans to spend $30 million

The House Majority PAC, a federal political action committee closely tied to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), recently sent funds to a political action committee that is primarily backed by liberal billionaire George Soros and was created as part of a campaign to push infrequent voters to the polls this November.

The "Win Justice" campaign was launched earlier this year by Planned Parenthood Votes, Color of Change PAC, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and the Center for Community Change Action to target young people, voters of color, and women voters in Florida, Nevada, and Michigan with a goal of spending $30 million leading up to election day.

As part of the effort, the coalition created a federal committee called the Win Justice PAC that is run by individuals from the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Community Change Action. Deepak Pateriya, the chief of staff at the organization, is listed as the PACs treasurer. Deepak Bhargava, the executive director of the Center for Community Change, sits on the board of Soros's U.S. programs at the Open Society Foundations.

The Win Justice PAC reported $4.6 million in total contributions on its most recent filings to the Federal Election Commission, $3 million of which was provided by Soros. The SEIU, Marilyn Simons, president of the Simons Foundation and wife of billionaire hedge funder Jim Simons, and Jennifer Allan-Soros, Soros's daughter in law, provided the remaining $1.6 million to the federal PAC.
