SEIU Planning To Spend Millions In Midwest To Win Back Seats From Republicans
Service Employees International Union is preparing to go to war.
One of the largest unions in the nation is planning to spend tens of millions of dollars in a 2018 effort to take back seats from Republicans in the Midwest, The New York Times is reporting.
