Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley won a comfortable victory Tuesday night in the off-year elections, defeating Democratic challenger Shani Curry Mitchell by 56 to 44 percent of the vote.
Republican Doorley won by more than 20,000 votes.
Doorley has been the subject of an ad campaign funded by a PAC supported by George Soros which put more than $800,000 behind her opponent’s campaign.
Mitchell, a former prosecutor, had accused Doorley of wrongful prosecution and failure to prosecute the actual criminals once the initial suspect was found to be innocent.
