Foreign-lobby money compromises America First. The U.S. has no formal mutual-defense treaty with Israel; AIPAC operates a super-PAC (United Democracy Project) that spent over $100M during the 2024 cycle on independent expenditures against U.S. candidates who criticize Israeli government policy. A candidate who has accepted that money has, in their own revealed preference, accepted a foreign-policy filter on their congressional vote. The same logic covers China-linked donations, where federal law also prohibits CCP members from contributing.
For every candidate with a documented donor record, two things happen: (1) the specific category question is marked False (foreign_policy_restraint[q4] for AIPAC + China; economic_stewardship[q5] — the WEF/ESG/Davos capture question — for Soros-network donors), so the per-category subscore drops by 2 points; (2) an additional dollar-bracket adjustment is applied to the total, making the penalty proportional to the magnitude of the funding. Both impacts are visible on this page.

- Open Society / Soros donor network-50Philadelphia District Attorney; received $1.7M+ from Soros vehicles for his 2017 and 2021 campaigns combined.The Open Society Foundations and the Democracy PAC vehicles tied to George Soros / Alex Soros are direct funding rails for the WEF / ESG / Davos capture agenda — Soros is a founding World Economic Forum attendee and OSF is one of its largest civil-society partners. RESOLUTE Citizen treats documented Soros-network contributions as a failure on economic_stewardship/q5, the question that asks whether the candidate opposes WEF/ESG/Davos economic capture and supports anti-trust action against monopolistic financial cartels — accepting money from the architect of that capture is a revealed preference against it. The same Soros DA network is documented to decline prosecution of attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers and refuse to enforce state abortion restrictions; that pattern is tracked separately under sanctity_of_life claims. A dollar-bracket adjustment is also applied to the total score.

Official Profile
Education: BA University of Chicago; JD Stanford Law School
Background: Career criminal-defense/civil-rights attorney (~75 civil-rights suits against Philadelphia police before election); elected DA 2017, re-elected 2021 and Nov 2025 (third term, ~76%-24% over Patrick Dugan). PA House impeached him Nov 2022; articles ruled null and void by the PA Supreme Court (Sept 2024) — never tried or removed.
Next Election Year: 2029
Philadelphia DA, won a third term Nov 4 2025 (~76% vs Patrick Dugan R). Evidence-finalized 2026-06-10. HARD contrary evidence across the board: signed FJP post-Dobbs non-prosecution pledge and called on all 66 other PA county DAs to protect 'reproductive rights'; office LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee (announced for International Transgender Day of Visibility), LGBTQ+ liaison and crime tracker; own Feb 2018 policy memo ended cash bail for ~25 offense categories, set decline-to-charge lists, required prosecutors to justify incarceration cost on the record, and directed below-guideline pleas ('end mass incarceration'); career of ~75 civil-rights suits against Philadelphia PD and prosecution of officer Ryan Pownall; gun violence framed as 'public health and safety crises'; vowed to keep Philadelphia a sanctuary city, called the 2025 federal immigration crackdown 'Nazi stuff' and warned he will charge ICE agents who violate state law; post-Bruen warned of 'open hunting season on all gun regulations' and called PA gun laws 'weak'; publicly campaigned for PA red-flag (ERPO) bills (July 2022). refuse_state_overreach left null: his local-control fights (impeachment defense, Act 40 special-prosecutor suit — lost 4-3 in Commonwealth Court) defend progressive-prosecution discretion, not the rubric's subsidiarity intent. Soros funding (precise): ~$1.7M into the 2017 race via the PA Justice & Public Safety PAC ($1.45M Apr 2017 + ~$214K May 2017). See data/soros_adjustments.json for the adjustment layer. No public profession of personal faith found (mother was an evangelical Christian minister — biographical only).
