Dark-Money Group and Soros Family Influence in Congress

A group supported by George Soros and his son Alex has played a role in bringing a notable number of Democratic doctors and scientists into Congress. This change is expected to influence the nation’s health agenda. The elected officials are focused on issues such as race, DEI, climate change, and gun control.

Among the new lawmakers is Dr. Annie Andrews from South Carolina. Her unexpected political success involved overturning a long-held Senate seat. Known for supporting gender-affirming care, Dr. Andrews has shifted her focus in recent years to research involving guns and racial disparities in healthcare.

Richard Pan, a pediatrician from California, helped eliminate personal-belief exemptions for school vaccine requirements in 2015. His research emphasizes DEI and nondiscrimination in healthcare.

Jamie Ager, another new legislator, has an academic background in environmental studies and history and has been involved in environmental issues.

Dr. Adam Hamawy, a New Jersey plastic surgeon, has faced scrutiny over past ties to Islamic extremism. Despite his controversial past, he secured a House seat.

Abdul El-Sayed from Michigan, who identifies as a physician, despite not completing his medical residency, has been involved in research deemed controversial for its stance on Arab women’s reproduction.

“This is just the left trying to capitalize on their complete occupation and control of higher education and academia,” said Theo Wold, a former White House assistant.

The group 3.14 Action aims to bring candidates with STEM backgrounds into politics. They increased their investment, supporting causes like abortion, climate change, and gun violence. They are opposed to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and have criticized his stance on vaccines and health regulations.

The Soros-backed fund provided substantial financial support to help drive this change, with extensive advertising efforts highlighting the healthcare expertise of the candidates.
