We’ll probably never know exactly how much money Tom Steyer paid out during the 2014 election in Washington state, given that most of it was laundered through PACS, cut-outs and dummy organizations.

The OpenSecrets.org website, though, estimates the California-based hedge fund billionaire spent in the neighborhood of $73 million nationally to produce 7,000 advertisements—most of which were as incomprehensible as they were dishonest—all of them going to support his fellow uber-liberals.

And out of the $30.8 million of that money that went to seven specific races, more than $22.4 million—73 percent —went to candidates who ended up losing their races. 

Thankfully, Washington did nothing to get him off his losing streak.

Although he doesn’t appear to have directly funded any Washington candidates, Steyer funneled an estimated $2 million into state Senate races where the Republican appeared to be vulnerable hoping to tip the balance of power in the Legislature back to Democrats.

Steyer would love nothing more than to demolish the firewall erected by the Senate’s Majority Coalition against Gov. Jay Inslee’s extreme environmental agenda. But if that’s his goal, it will have to wait for at least one more election cycle.

As of Wednesday morning, the day after the 2014 general election, Steyer is batting 0-5 in races he’s known to have donated to, including:

• District 35, where incumbent Democrat Tim Sheldon, who caucuses with the Republicans to form the Majority Coalition, easily defeated Democratic challenger Irene Bowling by a 55-45 margin;
• District 45, where Sen. Andy Hill, the Republican budget writer, dispatched newcomer Matt Isenhower 53-47;
• District 17, where Democratic incumbent Sen. Monica Stonier—also a darling of the Washington Education Association—is on the verge of being picked off by Republican Lynda Wilson, who leads by 500 votes;
• District 28, where interim-Sen. Steve O’Ban, appointed to fill the seat vacated by the death two years ago of Republican Sen. Mike Carrell, trounced Democrat Tami Green, the sitting Democratic representative from that district; and,
• District 42, where incumbent Republican Sen. Doug Ericksen— the leading GOP voice on environmental issues— won going away (59-41) in his race against tree-hugger Seth Fleetwood.

Again, there’s no way of knowing how much money Steyer spent to impose his—and Jay Inslee’s agenda on Washington. But we know to the penny how much of it was wasted: All of it.

Millions of dollars, flushed down the drain—presumably through the low-pressure toilet in Tom Steyer’s San Francisco mansion.
