What they’re spending all that money on:

Yep, it’s the “school choice” voucher scam designed to defund public education:

Press Release
AFC Announces Launch of Affiliated “AFC Victory Fund” Super PAC
Updated on May 28, 2024 [….]
Dallas, TX – The American Federation for Children is pleased to announce the official launch of AFC Victory Fund, a national Super PAC that will take AFC’s work of championing school choice and empowering parents to the next level.

During the 2024 election cycle, AFCVF will be a powerful force in state legislative races nationwide, devoting at least $10 million in support of school choice champions and against opponents.

AFCVF’s mission is to support candidates who prioritize education freedom, enabling families to choose the best education for their children. AFCVF believes every child deserves an education tailored to his or her unique needs and aspirations.

During the 2022 election season, AFC’s political affiliates and allies created a “sonic boom” for school choice. We spent $9 million to ensure parents’ voices were represented and set the stage for another year of historic school choice expansion, winning 277 out of 368 races, a 75% success rate that included the defeat of at least 40 anti-school choice incumbents.

Interestingly, the subject of the mailers has nothing to do with the “school choice” voucher scam designed to defund public education. That’s not surprising:
