George Soros, Steven Spielberg, LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, and Gov. J.B. Pritzker are among the liberal megadonors who have opened up their wallets and donated generously to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin ahead of a high-stakes state Supreme Court race that will decide the political tilt of the bench.
Soros donated $1 million to the state Democratic Party on Feb. 22, Pritzker gave $1 million on March 14, while Tulsa philanthropists Stacy and Lynn Schusterman made four donations in March totaling $1 million. Hoffman donated $2 million, and Spielberg gave $125,000. "George Soros and J.B. Pritzker's million-dollar contributions underscore that Protasiewicz will simply be a progressive rubber stamp," Rachel Reisner, spokeswoman for the state Republican Party, said."They’ll drop whatever cash needed to buy her a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat because her pro-criminal record aligns with their agenda."
Protasiewicz has defended her donations, telling the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the money helps her"communicate with people all over the state."
