Has Mark Kelly personally received donations from Soros-affiliated PACs or nonprofits?

1. What the public records cited here actually show

Federal-election data compiled by OpenSecrets and the FEC in the materials provided distinguish between donations from “organizations” and donations from PACs, individuals or employees connected to those organizations. OpenSecrets repeatedly notes “the organizations themselves did not donate,” and that figures reflect PACs, individual members, employees or owners giving $200 or more ^{[1] [2] [3]}. The FEC candidate overview for Mark Kelly exists in the corpus as a primary repository of itemized receipts but the snippet only confirms the candidate’s FEC profile and reporting periods rather than listing a named Soros organization as a donor ^[4].

2. Why analysts separate “Soros-affiliated” entities from direct gifts

OpenSecrets’ methodology pages for Soros Fund Management and related profiles flag that their reporting counts contributions from PACs and identifiable individual donors, not “the organization” itself, because federal law and reporting practice distinguish corporate entities from PACs and from individual contributions. That distinction explains why searches for “Soros-affiliated organizations gave to Mark Kelly” surface pages showing receipts connected to PACs or individual donors rather than line-item entries that read “Open Society Foundations donated X to Mark Kelly” ^{[2] [1]}.

3. What’s in these sources about Mark Kelly’s receipts

OpenSecrets maintains a Mark Kelly profile and joint-fundraising committee donor lists (e.g., Mark Kelly Victory Fund) that document his top donors and expenditures; those pages contain entries and notes indicating when donations came from PACs or affiliated committees rather than institutions themselves ^{[3] [5] [1]}. The FEC candidate overview exists as the canonical filing source for receipts and disbursements but the available snippet in this dataset does not enumerate any specific Soros-linked line items ^[4].

4. Misinformation and partisan narratives to watch

Outside these neutral-data pages, partisan outlets and opinion pieces sometimes allege ties between candidates and Soros via “affiliated” nonprofits or grants; one example in the search results is an extreme partisan blog piece linking Kelly to unrelated allegations ^[6]. The OpenSecrets entries included here caution readers: a listed organization’s name on a donor list can reflect giving by its PAC or employees, not a direct institutional donation ^{[1] [3]}. That caveat is central to avoid overstating a direct, institutional payment from a Soros entity.

5. What these sources do not address

Available sources in this set do not provide a searchable, line-by-line FEC dump within the snippets that would let us confirm every donor name and employer for every contribution to Senator Kelly; they also do not quote any Kelly campaign statement explicitly acknowledging or denying donations from Soros-affiliated PACs or nonprofits ^{[4] [7]}. The materials here do not document a single entry that reads “Open Society Foundations -> Mark Kelly” in the provided excerpts; nor do they contain a comprehensive narrative investigation into whether any individuals tied to Soros-affiliated groups gave to Kelly’s committee beyond the methodological notes ^{[1] [2]}.

6. Bottom line and how to verify further

Based on the materials provided, there is no clear statement or line-item in these excerpts showing Mark Kelly personally received donations from Soros-owned organizations; instead, OpenSecrets and FEC references in the set emphasize that donations are recorded from PACs, affiliated committees, or individuals connected to organizations ^{[1] [2] [4] [3]}. To resolve the question definitively, consult the full FEC itemized receipts for Mark Kelly’s authorized committees and cross-check OpenSecrets’ Soros-related recipient pages for the relevant election cycles; those databases are referenced here as the authoritative sources for such verification ^{[4] [2] [1]}.
