In two weeks George Soros’ plan to turn Austin into another Seattle or San Francisco could take a big leap forward if Travis County residents are foolish enough to vote for Jose Garza for District Attorney.
If he wins, expect “catch and release” for antifa rioters and a refusal to prosecute drug dealing offenses on Austin’s streets.
Garza is a former immigration attorney and current co-executive director of the Workers Defense Project. He is a member of the Austin chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, according to an interview that he gave with Jacobin magazine.
His opponent, Martin Harry, is a private attorney and former U.S. Navy judge advocate who is running a law-and-order campaign focusing on the “core functions” of the DA’s office: prosecuting criminals, deterring crime, and protecting victims’ interest.
At a Central Texas Candidate Forum on September 12, [Republican DA nominee Martin] Harry said the main difference between him and his opponent is that Garza is more concerned about those who commit crimes, whereas he is more concerned about the victims of crimes. He describes Garza as having an “anti-law enforcement platform.”
Thanks to the partial partial police defunding, violent crime is already up in much of Austin.
And Soros and company are backing Garza with lots of money:
In the race for Travis County district attorney, challenger José Garza reported total political contributions of more than $548,000 from Feb. 23-July 4. He had some help in that from a group called the Texas Justice & Public Safety Political Action Committee, as well as the Real Justice PAC out of San Francisco. Other committees helping José Garza include the Workers Defense in Action PAC and the Austin Firefighters Association PAC, both located in Austin.
Philanthropist George Soros contributed $652,000 to the Texas Justice & Public Safety PAC between March 11 and May 29. According to Garza’s opponent, District Attorney Margaret Moore, the PAC spent more than $600,000 on digital media and glossy mail advertisements to help Garza. Moore’s campaign released a blistering attack on those expenditures saying, “The amount of money being poured into the district attorney’s race is alarming and abhorrent. Local elections should be decided by people from this community, free from the crushing influence of outside spending by PACs that are not accountable to this county.”
A lot of out-of-state money is flowing into the race:
It appears that they make their money through fine art. For those that don't know, expensive art is one of the best ways to launder money. https://t.co/rqktBwPiNr

They don't specifically mention their pursuit of manipulating DA races around the country, but they do say the following:
"Advancing reimagined approaches to safety, justice, and accountability"
Reimagined? Hmmm. Wonder where we've heard that before.— Robert 🇺🇸 Corn Pop 🇺🇸 (@rbrt987) September 27, 2020
Just goes to show that the wealthiest people in the nation are investing in bringing down Austin.

As befitting a Soros-backed candidate, Garza loves making spurious charges of racism against the Austin Police Department:
In a further effort to unfairly malign APD, Mr. Garza falsely claims that a report "found a culture of racism at the highest levels of APD." It did not. The report found "specific facts described in the complaint [alleging racist conduct] cannot be proved or disproved." pic.twitter.com/pRVeZSc0tY

If Garza is elected, expect crime in Austin to skyrocket, and radical left-wing gangs to loot and riot with impunity, just like in Portland.
To prevent this catastrophe, Travis County residents will have to do the unthinkable: Actually elect a Republican to a county-wide race.
Travis County residents need to vote like their lives depend on it—and, with Austin murder rates spiking after the homeless camping ordinance repeal and the partial police defunding, it very well might.
