INDIAN WELLS, California (CNN)The influential Koch network plans to invest close to $400 million toward protecting Republican majorities and promoting policy priorities in the 2018 midterm election cycle, the network's leaders confirmed Saturday -- roughly a 60% increase over the group's 2016 spending, they said.

"This network is going to have the largest investment we've ever had in a midterm election in 2018," said Tim Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity, one of the groups under the Koch umbrella. "So, we're all in."

The network had previously indicated it was to spend between $300 million and $400 million toward both policy and political objectives. The spending target was previously announced last summer; the network's leaders stressed Saturday that they now anticipate hitting the top of that range by Election Day.

The announcement came as the network's donors were set to convene in the California desert Saturday for an annual retreat.

8. Maybe this is the year voters start paying attention to this.

The Kochs are the "swamp" that supposedly the Trump voters wanted him to drain. (Of course, all he did was put the swamp on the cabinet.)
