George Soros Backed PAC Gave More Than $6 Million To Broward Vote Canvassing Co.

George Soros spent more than $6 million dollars in Broward

Since 2018, Federal and State PACs funded by left-wing billionaire George Soros have paid more than $6 million dollars to an obscure vote canvassing firm located in Lauderhill, records show. The Win Justice PAC and its State of Florida affiliated committee paid the huge sums to Hard Knock Strategies, an LLC formed in March 2018.

State Of Florida records show Hard Knocks Strategies is one of three companies owned by Itohan “Stephanie” Ighodaro of Fort Laudersale. The three business are located in a nondescript office building at 3521 W. Broward Blvd in Lauderhill.

According to numerous published reports, George Soros uses the Win Justice PACs in a effort to elect radical State Attorney candidates all across the United States.

In 2019, The Washington Post reported George Soros’ PAC spent more than $1 million dollars on State Attorney races in Virginia. POLITICO reported Soros’ PAC funded Kim Foxx, the controversial Cook County prosecutor in the Jussie Smollet case. In St. Louis, George Soros’ PAC funds Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner who tried to prosecute Mark and Patricia McCloskey for defending their home from rioters.

George Soros’ desire to reshape the U.S. justice system is no secret.

“Yes, it’s no secret we contribute to Safety and Justice PACs,” Soros spokesman Michael Vachon, told Just the News. “We are for criminal justice reform.”

In August, REDBROWARD exposed a new Soros-backed political committee’s role in the Broward State Attorney race. The Florida Justice & Public Safety PAC mailed campaign materials to Broward Democrat voters touting the radical left-wing agenda of Democrat Joe Kimok. Formed on July 23, 2020, the Florida committee is affiliated with the Washington D.C. based Justice and Public Safety PAC as well as the Kimok campaign.

But George Soros’ millions of dollars paid to Hard Knocks is spent to promote more than State Attorney campaigns.

In 2018, the Federal Win Justice PAC paid $2,239,334 to Hard Knocks. Federal campaign records show the money was used to support the campaigns of Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, Donna Shalala and Senator Bill Nelson.

That same year, Hard Knocks received $2,536,164.08 from the Win Justice state political committee.

In 2018, Hard Knocks Strategies of Lauderhill received 4,775,498.08 from George Soros’ political committees. Not too shabby for “phone banking” and “vote canvassing.”

For the 2020 election, Hard Knocks Strategies continues to be a George Soros favorite.

For this cycle, Hard Knocks Strategies has been paid $764,500 by the State Win Justice political committee.

Federal records show the Win Justice PAC gave $474,000 to Hard Knocks Strategies. This includes a $250,000 payment for “phone banking” on behalf of former Vice President Joe Biden.

How did a tiny Lauderhill business become the Florida electoral hub for George Soros?

According to their website, Hard Knocks Strategies is “the go-to integrated strategy firm in Florida for mobilizing Democratic voters statewide, with a proven track record of delivering groundbreaking, winning campaigns.” Well, it’s certainly the “go-to” firm for George Soros.

What exactly does Hard Knocks Strategies do? According to their website, “Formed in 2018, Hard Knocks made history twice over in our first electoral cycle, and deployed over 3000 staff out of 13 offices across the state of Florida, from the Panhandle to the Keys.”

REDBROWARD asked Itohan “Stephanie” Ighodaro for comment. While she was involved in the 2018 election cycle, Ighodaro told REDBROWARD she was no longer affiliated with Hard Knocks Strategies. She said she gave control of the company over to Eric Brakken. Ighodaro said she would provide Brakken with our contact information.

According to LinkedIn, Eric Brakken of EJB Strategies is the former executive director of SEIU Florida.

According to 2020 Federal campaign records, the SEIU PAC paid $592,076 to Hard Knocks Strategies. State records show the SEIU political committee gave $296,218.23 to Hard Knocks Strategies. How will Hard Knocks Strategies spent that $888,000 this cycle?

Is Hard Knocks Strategies a private company or part of a workers union?

Why is George Soros and the SEIU spending so much money in Broward?

George Soros Funded PAC Backs Joe Kimok For Broward State Attorney

Team Soros Keeps Growing

A brand new political committee funded by the controversial philanthropist George Soros wants Joe Kimok to be the next Broward State Attorney. The Florida Justice & Public Safety PAC mailed campaign materials to Broward Democrat voters touting the radical left-wing agenda of Kimok. Formed on July 23, 2020, the Florida committee is affiliated with the Washing D.C. based Justice and Public Safety PAC as well as the Kimok campaign.

In 2019, The Washington Post reported George Soros’ PAC spent more than $1 million dollars on State Attorney races in Virginia. POLITICO reported Soros’ PAC funded Kim Foxx, the controversial Cook County prosecutor in the Jussie Smollet case. In St. Louis, George Soros’ PAC funds Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner who tried to prosecute Mark and Patricia McCloskey for defending their home from rioters.

George Soros’ desire to reshape the U.S. justice system is no secret.

“Yes, it’s no secret we contribute to Safety and Justice PACs,” Soros spokesman Michael Vachon, told Just the News. “We are for criminal justice reform.”

SOROS TURNS BROWARD INTO CHICAGO/SAN FRAN?

The Florida Justice and Public Safety PAC mailer on behalf of Joe Kimok declares “Dismantle Systemic Racism, Reforming Our Broken Justice System.” A picture of Kimok at Black Lives Matter protest is accompanied by claims he will end “mass incarceration” while “protecting all of our sons and daughters.” Unsurprisingly, it fails to mention the radical nature of Joe Kimok’s true reform agenda.

Last year, REDBROWARD exposed Joe Kimok’s radical views on the decriminalization of hard drugs and sex work. At a candidate forum, Joe Kimok said drug users “shouldn’t spend any amount” of jail time. Declaring the War On Drugs is a “War on People,” Kimok said any “real discussion” of criminal justice reforms requires talking about “decriminalizing crack, heroin and meth.”

Kimok did not stop with drugs. An audience member asked whether the candidates favored the legalization of “sex work.” Kimok said he did favor legalization.

“[Criminalizing sex work] makes the lives of the workers-that decide to do this-more dangerous, more unhealthy,” Kimok said. “And makes them more likely to be a victim of human trafficking.”

Kimok said, “By driving [sex work] underground, it opens it up to these workers being, uh uh uh uh, selected based on their race, if transgender and without any public safety benefit.”

Later, Joe Kimok mimicked the views of radical San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin.

In his 2019 victory speech, Boudin said, “We will not prosecute cases involving quality-of-life crimes,” Boudin said. “Crimes such as public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc., should not and will not be prosecuted. Many of these crimes are still being prosecuted; we have a long way to go to decriminalize poverty and homelessness.”

On Facebook, followers asked Joe Kimok for specifics about his criminal justice reform plans. Kimok responded with a litany of progressive ideas like ending cash bail, mandatory minimum jail sentences and “stop-and-frisk.” Kimok said he would stop arrests for drug possession and stop seeking search warrants for drugs. Kimok criticized the death penalty and vow to reduce life without parole sentencing.

Kimok said feeling safe means “being safe from violence and being safe from police and the [criminal justice] system.”

Joseph Kimok promised to “stop charging ‘quality of life’ and poverty based crimes.

Do Broward Democrats really want the streets of Fort Lauderdale to look like the streets of San Francisco?

Last month, REDBROWARD revealed the true goal of the radicals backing Joe Kimok—the abolition of the Broward State Attorney’s Office.

Since late May, a coalition of radical activists including Broward Dream Defenders and Broward Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) organized local protests under the Black Lives Matter. Now, with the August election fast approaching, Broward Dream Defenders want supporters to vote for radical Broward State Attorney candidate Joe Kimok in the Democrat primary.

According to the Broward Dream Defenders leadership, the group wants more than criminal justice reform. Their long-term goal is the destruction of the State Attorney’s Office.

On a July conference call, Quayneshia Smith reiterated that Dream Defenders was an abolitionist group. Smith said their endorsement in the State Attorney race does not conflict with their goals to abolish prisons and police departments though the “defund the police” movement.

Smith said:

To make it clear…we’re abolitionists. Our goal with endorsing [Joe Kimok] is a tactic. The goal…the long-term goal for us is to not have a State Attorney’s Office. That’s the goal. If we don’t have a State Attorney’s Office people are not getting locked up. People are not getting arrested, right?

Will Broward Democrat voters give George Soros and other radical socialists want they want?

Do Democrat voters really want to destroy the Broward State Attorney’s Office?
