George Soros’ Open Society Policy Center, the advocacy affiliate of his Open Society Foundations, tripled its spending in 2013, the Washington Post reports.
The lobbying group spent $11 million in 2013, triple the $3.25 million it spent in 2012. The huge spending increase was mainly due to the group’s support for comprehensive immigration reform, according to the policy center’s executive director.

The big jump placed the Soros group 27th in a recent year-end lobbying tally by the Center for Responsive Politics — just below defense giant General Dynamics and ahead of corporate powerhouses Dow Chemical, Chevron and Microsoft.
Such large companies as those tend to rely on healthy in-house government relations teams and legions of outside lobbyists. But the Soros group takes a different approach: Most of its advocacy millions were spent in grants to activist organizations that do their own lobbying.
