Koch Brothers Will Spend $889 Million on 2016

“The Koch brothers’ political operation intends to spend $889 million in the run-up to the 2016 elections,” Politico reports.

“The spending goal, shared with donors at a Monday morning session at the Rancho Mirage Ritz Carlton, reflects the sweeping ambition of a private conservative political network that in many ways has eclipsed the power of the official Republican Party. The $889 million spending goal dwarfs the $404 million the Republican National Committee spent during the 2012 election and the $188 million it dropped during last year’s midterm campaign.”
