Soros-Linked Dark Money Tries Sabotaging Tennessee’s Special Election [WATCH]

A dark-money operation is targeting the special election to fill former Republican Rep. Mark Green’s seat in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, using a strategy aimed at boosting an independent candidate to influence the outcome, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller.

The group leading the effort is the “Democratic/Liberal” PAC Your Community.

On October 31, the PAC released a poll showing Republican Matt Van Epps ahead of Democratic state Rep. Aftyn Behn by eight points ahead of the December 2 special election.

Shortly after releasing the poll, the group began distributing mailers promoting Independent candidate Jon Thorp, who previously withdrew from the GOP primary to run without a party affiliation, according to photos reviewed by the Daily Caller.

OpenSecrets data show that roughly 85% of the PAC’s spending in the 2024 cycle supported Democrats, with the remaining 15% spent opposing Republicans.

Your Community is linked to the Soros-backed Sixteen Thirty Fund and the North Fund, both part of the Arabella Advisors network.

The Atlantic has described Arabella as the “mothership” of Democratic dark money, responsible for directing large amounts of anonymous donations into elections across the country.

Your Community PAC has taken a similar approach in this Tennessee race, running an advertisement on Friday promoting Thorp rather than the Democratic candidate, effectively shifting support away from Behn and into a spoiler strategy targeting Van Epps.

According to OpenSecrets, the PAC spent $16.3 million during the 2024 cycle, with 77% of its spending directed toward media in high-profile races that included the presidential contest and competitive Senate and House races in Montana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio, and Nebraska.

In addition to mail operations, Google’s political ad archive shows six ads placed by the PAC in Michigan’s 10th District and Nebraska’s 2nd District, one of which was co-funded with American Bridge, the Democratic rapid-response organization founded by David Brock.

Financial records show continued funding from the PAC’s dark-money partners.

Since 2024, the North Fund has contributed $6.4 million to Your Community, while the Sixteen Thirty Fund has provided nearly $6.7 million, along with $35,000 in in-kind support.

Federal Election Commission filings list a compliance attorney as the group’s treasurer.

The listed Wilmington, Delaware, address is a private residence with no publicly identified owner.

The PAC identifies itself as “Democratic/Liberal” and backs progressive causes, including expanded abortion access, according to OpenSecrets.

Van Epps, a former Tennessee commissioner of General Services, won the Republican primary in a field of eleven candidates. He is the only candidate in the race to receive an endorsement from President Donald Trump.

Van Epps has also been endorsed by Mark Green, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, according to NBC News.

Green resigned in July after the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”

A retired U.S. Army officer, he had represented Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District since 2019.
