I got them from alpa.org, then PAC, then list of non-incumbent contributions. Here is a reposting yet again of those numbers:
This is from the list of non-incumbents to which ALPA PAC supported financially for candidates to win House and Senate seats:
2007-2008: Democrats 21...Republicsns 0
2009-2010: Democrats 24...Republicans 3
2011-2012: Democrats 40...Republicans 5
2013-2014: Democrats 21...Republicans 1
It clearly shows (as if we didn't already know) that ALPA PAC is a far left wing supportive political organization. The only way you can get away with that in a union that has primarily conservatives as its members is to lie about what you do. Use terms like "pilot partisan" etc. when the reality is that when it comes to getting new congressmen to unseat incumbents, ALPA PAC supports democrats almost always, and republicans almost never. Again, the data is from YOUR website.

Yes that's a part of the incumbents list where you necessarily have to contribute to both sides. When you look at the full list of incumbents (house and senate incumbents) it's 135 Democrats to 92 republicans. Even though there are more republicans than democrats in the legislative branch. So yet again, ALPA PAC leans heavily democrat...even among incumbents.

No need, just the numbers that I posted above regarding incumbents: 135 Democrats, 92 Republicans.

The defense either can't read, or you don't want to read. That non-incumbent list is complete proof of what ALPA PAC is...a very far left political support group.
The truth rests.
