A new political action committee launched by liberal billionaire George Soros has given $350,000 to Planned Parenthood Virginia, its largest outside contribution ever, ahead of the state's November elections, records show.
The Democracy PAC, Soros's PAC that was created earlier this year for the 2020 election cycle, sent a $350,000 donation to Planned Parenthood Virginia's committee in September, according to filings on the Virginia Public Access Project's website.
A majority of its funds previously came from its action fund and the super PAC Planned Parenthood Votes.
An individual familiar with the PAC told Politico in August that it would be used for the 2020 election cycle to fund other liberal groups.
The donation to Planned Parenthood Virginia appears to be one of the first from the Democracy PAC. Semi-annual filings from the committee showed that Soros deposited $5.1 million as of June 30.
Soros also poured nearly $1 million into Virginia earlier this year to back far-left prosecutor candidates.
Michael Vachon, the Soros spokesperson and treasurer of the Democracy PAC, did not respond to a request for comment on the donation to Planned Parenthood ahead of the elections.
