The nation's two largest teachers unions contributed at least $2.25 million to re-elect Michigan's Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer as unions and school choice activists continue to pour money into the race.
The massive donations coming from the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) are going to the pro-Whitmer group "Put Michigan First." That organization is a federal 527 organization that is aligned with the Democratic Governors Association.
The National Education Association Advocacy Fund donated $1 million to Put Michigan First in July. AFT Solidarity, a group affiliated with AFT, donated a total of $1.25 million to that same group this year.
The most recent contribution from AFT Solidarity came on Oct. 13 for $250,000. It donated $1 million to Put Michigan First in late April......
"Gretchen Whitmer continues to take cues directly from her union bosses who shut schools down, kept our kids locked down at home longer than necessary, and created an education crisis in our state. She stood on the debate stage and blatantly lied that Michigan schools were only closed down for 3 months," Dixon said in a comment to Fox News Digital.

=====================================
Sure they did for payback for closing the schools down and letting teachers stay home. Whitmer did not have the kids best interest at heart.
