Foreign Money and Radical Politics Threaten American Elections

America is waking up to something that should alarm every patriotic voter: foreign money and shadowy influence are creeping into our local elections, and too many officials are acting like it’s nothing. What started as reporting on a few questionable checks now reads like a playbook — buy the mayoralties, steer the policy, and change the streets without a single shot fired.

The most concrete example comes from New York, where campaign filings show Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral bid accepted roughly 170 donations from foreign addresses totaling nearly $13,000, and dozens of those contributions have not yet been returned despite clear law forbidding foreign donations. His campaign claims it will refund anything out of compliance, but the fact that $7,190 in suspect donations remains outstanding raises obvious questions about vetting and intent. This isn’t an innocent paperwork error — it’s a national-security style vulnerability at the heart of America’s largest city.

Republican voices and concerned citizens are right to demand answers, but so far the response from authorities has been tepid; the city’s Campaign Finance Board is auditing filings as the scandal grows. If foreign actors can buy leverage through small-dollar donations and then hide behind bureaucratic slow-walking, we will lose our local government the same way other nations have lost theirs — from within. The Department of Justice and state prosecutors should be investigating, not issuing bland statements.

Worse still, Mamdani has openly embraced policies that read like a roadmap for social engineering, even suggesting he would “shift the tax burden… to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods” to make room for his redistribution schemes. That language is more than tone-deaf — it is explicitly divisive, designed to pit neighbor against neighbor by race and wealth. New Yorkers deserve leaders who unite, not who weaponize taxes and identity to remake the city.

Culturally, Mamdani’s campaign has cozied up to activists and entertainment elites who celebrate radical identity politics, with drag fundraisers and theatrical endorsements becoming campaign staples. Voters can disagree with policy, but when a candidate courts niche performance elites while taking foreign money, it looks less like outreach and more like a coalition of convenience assembled to pack city hall with an activist agenda. That kind of performance politics has consequences for public safety, schools, and small businesses.

The pattern is repeating in Minneapolis, where state senator Omar Fateh — a democratic socialist with close ties to progressive organizers — saw his DFL endorsement revoked after a party review found convention irregularities. The state party’s decision and the messy process that preceded it exposed how fragile local party institutions have become and how easily they can be gamed. Ilhan Omar and other national figures rushed to defend Fateh, which only feeds the narrative that big-city politics are becoming nationalized and unaccountable.

Adding to the unease, investigative reports show Fateh introduced legislation that would have benefited a company tied to his wife’s business interests in a fraud-plagued Housing Stabilization Services program, and his campaign was recently fined for continuing to distribute materials falsely claiming a DFL endorsement after it was revoked. These aren’t minor lapses — they’re the sort of conflicts and rule-bending that erode public trust and reward insiders. Voters should be furious that regulatory and legal safeguards are stretched until they snap.

This is not a partisan shrug; it is a call to action. When foreign checks, ideological theater, and insider deals converge on city halls, hardworking Americans lose schools, safety, and the ability to raise a family where they grew up. Conservatives should lead the charge demanding full investigations, prosecutions where warranted, and reforms that close the loopholes exploited by outsiders and insiders alike — because if we don’t secure our elections at the local level, the transformation of our cities will be irreversible.
