Colorado Safety & Justice PAC
Colorado Safety & Justice PAC is a left-of-center PAC that was created in 2016 and spent almost $1.3 million on the unsuccessful election campaign of Jake Lilly for District Attorney in Colorado’s 1st Judicial District. The organization is the Colorado branch of the vast “Safety and Justice” network, a project of left-leaning billionaire George Soros that used a network of similarly named state-level PACs to finance the campaigns of progressive Democratic candidates for district attorney in more than a dozen of America’s cities.1
