Secret plot by billionaires to influence LA's City elections revealed

Billionaire-backed super PACs have provided large sums to socialist-leaning Los Angeles candidates. City Attorney candidate Marissa Roy received $1.4 million aimed at reshaping the DA’s office toward civil rights, corporate accountability, and diversion programs for mental health and addiction rather than prison. Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez received $310,000 from similar groups, and Westside candidate Faizah Malik received $200,000. Even mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, who says she takes no money from corporate interests, received $20,000 in spending. The funding flows through political committees and super PACs, including Smart Justice California Action Fund, which supports lenient criminal justice policies. Critics say the structure circumvents individual contribution caps and exposes hypocrisy.

"Records show lefty City Attorney candidate Marissa Roy has had a staggering $1.4 million from billionaire-backed super PACs pumped into her campaign to turn the DA's office into a the biggest "public interest law firm" in Los Angeles - focusing on civil rights, corporate accountability and treating criminals with mental health and addiction diversion programs rather than prison."

"Cop-hating councilmember Eunisses Hernandez, who also wants to increase taxes on corporations, has picked up $310,000 from the same groups, while Westside candidate Faizah Malik - who helped draft and defend LA's "mansion tax" on homes that sell for more than $5 million - has collected $200,000."

"Even wannabe mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, who claims she takes no money from corporate interests, has had $20,000 spend on her campaign by billionaire-sponsored groups. The cash flowing to political committees and super PACs - especially the Smart Justice California Action Fund, which is campaigning for lenient criminal justice policies - allows donors to pour in vast sums into local races with no contribution caps."

"This strategy circumvents the strict limits on how much individuals can give directly to candidates. Critics say the cash exposes the hypocrisy of the LA's socialists - pitching themselves as champions of working-class Angelenos while benefiting from money tied to some of the richest people in America."
