From Fox News: A top Democratic House recruit drew a salary worth tens of thousands of dollars from a left-wing dark money network heavily bankrolled by George Soros’ political empire, Fox News Digital has learned.

New York congressional candidate Laura Gillen, a town supervisor in the Long Island town of Hempstead, drew a $40,000 “fellow” salary with the group Our American Future Foundation (OAFF) in 2023, according to her financial disclosures. The group and a sister nonprofit, Our American Future Action, help pay expenses for individuals—overwhelmingly Democrats—who plan to run for office in the future.

According to the Open Society Foundations, the umbrella of groups founded by Soros, its Open Society Action Fund has donated more than $18 million to Our American Future Action “to support non-partisan policy advocacy and civic engagement.”

Tax filings show Our American Future Action is Our American Future Foundation’s “direct controlling entity.”

The report explains that, according to  tax filings,  the Jennifer and Jonathan Allan Soros Foundation, a charitable group run by one of George Soros’ sons, donated an “undisclosed level of funding last year” to Our American Future Foundation.

Jonathan and Jennifer Soros have also donated to Gillen’s campaign directly, each contributing $3,300 this year, the report states.

Caitlin Sutherland, executive director of the nonprofit watchdog group Americans for Public Trust, warned, “It is incredibly problematic that George Soros is paying candidates to run for office through a program disguised as a ‘fellowship.'”

“Voters should be seriously alarmed that Laura Gillen, who is claiming to run on ethics and transparency, is being personally propped up by a Soros group that is advocating for open borders, anti-police measures, and radical energy policies. This raises crucial questions about who Gillen will answer to if elected to Congress: the voters…or George Soros?” Sutherland added.

Republican Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, who Gillen is trying to unseat, reacted to the report, writing, “A new report is exposing Laura Gillen for collecting a “salary” from a far-left, anti-Israel network financed by progressive billionaires to do … nothing. Laura Gillen answers only to radical billionaires — not #NY04 voters.”

Gillen cheered in a social media post on Friday, “In just three months, my campaign raised a stunning $2.4 million. A huge thank you to my supporters, who are powering my grassroots campaign to flip #NY04 blue.”
