A top priority for 2018 is in Arizona, where a measure allowing education savings accounts for all students goes on the ballot in November. Arizona Governor Doug Ducey pushed the idea and attended the Koch network's weekend seminar to chat with donors about it. A similar bill is moving through the New Hampshire Legislature and is supported by Americans for Prosperity [another Koch-funded organization].
The Koch network--known formally as the Seminar Network--has pledged to devote around $400 million toward politics and policy in the midterms to hold the GOP majorities in both chambers.
The sum includes $20 million that the Koch brothers plan to put behind efforts to popularize the $1.5 trillion tax cut. The network spent $20 million last year pushing the legislation.
The Kochs didn't support Trump in 2016, though they have strong ties to Vice President Mike Pence and key members of Trump's staff and Cabinet.
