Do the math: Teacher unions spent $80 million on 2014 elections

Fox News reports:

Forget about lobbyists skulking around Capitol Hill. This year’s election power players were hiding behind the schoolhouse.

American Federation of Teachers’ (AFT) President Randi Weingarten recently revealed that her union spent over $20 million on election campaigns this cycle in order to elect politicians who defend an indefensible status quo that she’s partly responsible for.

The other big teacher union, the National Education Association (NEA), pledged up to $60 million, making teacher unions among the biggest campaign contributors this election cycle.

One of Tuesday's biggest losers.
