Not trying to start a flame war but it was a question that came to me when I saw that they had just endorsed Nicki Haley for President. It got me wondering who all they had endorsed through the years. I can't remember and Google's not being helpful.

Typically they don't do endorsements, it's all shadow money. This is the first time I've seen an actual public endorsement.

Not to be pedantic, but it’s only one Koch Brother now. David bit the big one in 2019

This Wikipedia article thoroughly covers their history.

  1. Mitt Romney in 2012
  2. Scott Walker
  3. Not Trump in 2016, focused on Senate and House races
