PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania — An organization financed by international left-wing billionaire George Soros is playing a large role in the complicated race for Allegheny County district attorney. Incumbent Steve Zappala is a Democrat now running as a Republican because of his Democratic primary loss to progressive Matt Dugan, the county’s former public defender.
Zappala is one of the state’s longest-serving district attorneys. He was upended by Dugan in the May Allegheny County primary that saw traditional Democrats left in the dust by progressive activists, with many of them having previous ties with the Pittsburgh chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. They include Sara Innamorato, who is seeking the powerful Allegheny County chief executive office.
By 2017 Soros placed his money on the candidacy of Larry Krasner, a then little-known defense attorney, who, in a crowded primary, splintered the vote to become district attorney in Philadelphia thanks to a $1.7 million infusing of cash from the Soros-backed PAC.
