A Koch puppet is someone who adopts or modifies political positions due to a desire to receive some of the money flowing from the Koch brothers' wealthy network of organizations and co-donors. The Koch brothers' are estimated to have more money than Bill Gates, and unlike Gates the Koch brothers spend enormously on politics.
Some Koch puppets are exposed by campaign or lobbying disclosure requirements, but most them are secret recipients -- or wannabe recipients -- of Koch funding.
At the state level, Koch puppets promote the Convention of States, which advances the Koch brothers' dream of rewriting the U.S. Constitution. At the federal level, Koch puppets are typically anti-Trump.
