New York state Senate candidate Aber Kawas worked at three activist groups funded by billionaire philanthropist George Soros before blasting “oligarchs and billionaires” on the campaign trail.
Kawas, who has New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s endorsement, built her activist resume for over a decade at the Arab American Association of New York, Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services, and the Creating Law Enforcement Accountability and Responsibility project at City University of New York, according to her media interviews and professional profiles. Those groups received at least a combined $4.1 million from Soros’s Open Society Foundations and an affiliated nonprofit group before or during her tenures, records show.
