Rebecca Cooke 🤝 George Soros

A new report shows Rebecca Cooke not only received direct financial support from the Soros family, but also had millions of dollars funneled into her failed campaign last year by George Soros. 

Additionally, the report highlights that Rebecca Cooked previously worked for a DC-based dark money group that has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from George Soros. 

“Certified loser Rebecca Cooke isn’t just funded by George Soros—she’s his puppet. From millions funneled into her failed campaign to her ties with dark money groups, Cooke’s loyalty lies with Soros, not Wisconsinites.” – NRCC spokesman Zach Bannon

A Democrat running for Congress in Wisconsin, Rebecca Cooke, prides herself on lacking “a career background in politics.” But the twice-failed candidate served on a key panel for a D.C.-based dark money group disguised as a Badger State grassroots organization.

[…]

Cooke’s ties to the North Fund call her self-description into question. The Democrat has tried to distance herself from politics and D.C., calling the city full of “career politicians and elitists who are out of touch” during her last congressional bid.

[…]

The Open Society Policy Center, Soros’s advocacy group, has funneled nearly a million dollars into the North Fund. Tax forms reviewed by the Free Beacon show that the group gave $732,000 to the North Fund in 2021 to “support policy advocacy,” and another $250,000 in 2022.

Cooke recently denied taking payments from Soros.

“How much money did you take from George Soros last year?” MSNBC host Ali Velshi asked Cooke on March 21. “Zero … and, you know, I’m backed by grassroots support,” she replied.

She has, however, benefited from Soros’s cash. Democracy PAC, which the megadonor uses to support Democrats, funneled $4 million into House Majority PAC in 2024. That committee then spent over $3 million against the republican incumbent, Rep. Derrick Van Orden.

Soros’s son Jonathan and daughter-in-law Jennifer together also donated $6,600 to her campaign in September.
