Obama Appointed IRS Union President to Group in Charge of Federal Raises in 2010
The week after Republicans historic 2010 midterm election landslide, President Barack Obama appointed the union president that represents tens of thousands in the IRS, Colleen Kelley, to a key Administration post. Two years later, that union, the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), contributed $580,412 to federal candidates94% of which were Democrats.

Representing 150,000 members from 31 federal agencies and departments including the Internal Revenue Service, the NTEU bills itself as the nations largest independent federal union. Kelley, herself a former IRS Agent, commands her union brigade with partisan ferocity.
