"That would be a serious blow to Democrats in the midterm election campaign. Government unions account for about 6 percent of the money spent on Democratic candidates in federal elections — and that doesn't include significant in-kind contributions like phone banks and canvassing.
Unions “provide enormous resources to candidates who support workers, which tend to mostly be Democrats,” said Steve Rosenthal, a former political director of the AFL-CIO and Democratic Party strategist. The case, he said, is aimed largely at "limiting Democrats' ability to win."
AFSCME and its affiliates spent about $26 million on the 2016 election cycle, according to federal election records compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics, virtually all of it to elect Democrats."
