Billionaire George Soros endorsed New York City Public Advocate Bill de Blasio for mayor, citing the candidate’s opposition to police stop-and-frisk tactics and support of pre-kindergarten and after-school programs.
Soros, 82, the hedge fund pioneer and philanthropist, is chairman of the Manhattan-based Open Society Foundations, an organization that supports free expression, human rights and open government around the globe. He lives in Katonah in Westchester County, where he’s registered to vote.
