Billionaire conservative donor David Koch dies at 79 By STEVE PEOPLES AND JENNIFER PELTZ Associated Press NEW YORK — Billion- aire industrialist David H. Koch, who with his older brother Charles poured a for- tune into right-wing causes, transforming the Ameri- can political landscape and shaping U.S. policies on such issues as climate change and government regulation, died Friday at 79. The cause of death was not disclosed, but Koch Industries said Koch, who lived in New York City, had contended for years with var- ious illnesses, including pros- tate cancer. A chemical engineer by training, Koch was an exec- utive in the family-run con- glomerate, the Libertar- ian Party’s vice-presidential candidate in 1980 and a major benefactor of educa- tional, medical and cultural organizations. But he and his brother became best known for building a political network dubbed the “Kochtopus” for its many-tentacled support of conservative and libertarian causes, candidates and think tanks, including the Cato Institute. The brothers in 2004 founded the anti-tax, small-government group Americans for Prosperity, which remains one of the most powerful conservative organizations in U.S. politics, and they were an important influence on the tea party movement. While celebr at e d on the right, the Koch Koch brothers have been vilified by Democrats and others who see them as a dark and conspiratorial force, the embodiment of fat-cat cap- italism and the corrupting influence of corporate money in American politics. “I was taught from a young age that involvement in the public discourse is a civic duty,” David Koch wrote in a 2012 op-ed in the New York Post. “Each of us has a right — indeed, a responsibility, at times — to make his or her views known to the larger community in order to better form it as a whole. While we may not always get what we want, the exchange of ideas betters the nation in the process.” Some prominent Republi- cans praised his legacy upon his death, with libertari- an-leaning Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky saying “his many contributions will have last- ing impact on our country.” On the other side of the political divide over Koch, Beth Rotman of the govern- ment watchdog group Com- mon Cause said the Kochs and their network of like-minded wealthy donors “undermined so many important American values over the past several decades as part of the Kochs’ attempted corporate takeover of American politics.” Among other things, the Kochs and their company bankrolled a decades-long movement to cast doubt on man-made climate change and to thwart efforts to fight global warming through reducing greenhouse gas emissions. “David Koch will likely be remembered as one of a small handful of individuals who singlehandedly thwarted efforts to act on climate change and other pressing environmental threats aimed at preserving our planet for future generations,” said Awnings · Patio/Sun Shades Pergolas ·Patio Covers · Solar Shades Solar Screens & More!

The brothers also invested heavily in fighting Presi- dent Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. They pressed to bring conservative voices to college campuses. And they developed a nationwide grassroots network back- ing conservative causes and candidates at the state and national levels. They drew the line at Donald Trump. The Kochs refused to endorse him in 2016, warning that his protec- tionist trade policies, among other priorities, weren’t suffi- ciently conservative.
