Money In The Bank A Look At Political Spending By LAE & LFT in 2016

Although the Louisiana Association of Educators (LAE) and Louisiana Federation of Teachers (LFT) largely stayed on the sidelines during last year’s electoral contests, a review of campaign finance reports filed by their political action committees over the past 12 months provides some interesting insights on our state’s two teachers unions.

Here are some highlights…

I. Both unions amassed lots of campaign cash in 2016

Filings with the Louisiana Board of Ethics show that LAE’s political action committee ended the year with over $146,000 on hand, up from the $102,000 they started with in January. Meanwhile, LFT PAC saw its fund balance more than triple over the course of 2016, going from $38,000 in January to more than $131,000 by the end of December.

II. They helped repay loans Sen. Milkovich gave to his own campaign

State Senator John Milkovich (D-Shreveport) received more money from the teachers unions than any other legislator last year. LAE PAC and LFT PAC gave the freshman senator a total of $5000 in 2016, which was used to retire his campaign debts.

Milkovich, who was elected to office in 2015, drew headlines last year for his cuckoo beliefs, such as his insistence that the federal REAL ID Act is an “effort to create a national database to spy on people” and his claim that “scientific research and development and advances in the last hundred years…have validated the biblical story of creation.”

State Senator John Milkovich (D-Shreveport)

On the other hand, Milkovich is a strong opponent of the Common Core State Standards (on the grounds that they promote “agnosticism, socialism and moral relativism”) and serves on the Senate Education Committee, which might explain why the unions helped cover his campaign debts. Interestingly enough, the only debts listed on Milkovich’s most recent campaign finance report were loans that he made to his own campaign.

III. They gave way more to Democrats than the GOP

OK, this probably doesn’t come as a big surprise, but LAE and LFT’s PACs spent way more on contributions and fundraisers for the Louisiana Democratic Party than they did on contributions and fundraisers for Republicans. In total, the two unions steered almost $19,000 to LDP in 2016, while La. GOP walked away with a measly $1,250 from LAE PAC.
