Louisiana Safety & Justice

Louisiana Safety & Justice is a left-of-center PAC created to support Democrat James Stewart’s successful 2015 campaign for Caddo Parish District Attorney. The organization served as the Louisiana branch of the vast “Safety and Justice” network, a project of left-leaning billionaire George Soros which has 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.
