Charles Koch spoke about collaboration at a seminar of conservative donors in Indian Wells, Calif., on Jan. 27. (The Seminar Network)INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — Top strategists for the Koch network briefed their donors Monday about how they’re planning to allocate more than $400 million this election cycle on politics and policy. Tim Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity, predicted that 80 House races will be competitive on Election Day in November. “2010 is similar to 2018 with one big difference: This year, we’re on defense,” Phillips told 550 members of the Koch network at their three-day winter seminar here. He told conservative and libertarian-minded donors that they should be worried about the number of GOP lawmakers retiring in competitive jurisdictions.
