Tom Steyer is extending his lead as the biggest super-PAC donor of the 2014 congressional elections.
The California billionaire and climate-change activist gave $16 million more to his NextGen Climate Action Committee in the first two weeks of October, bringing to $57.6 million his aggregate donations to his organization. Steyer's super-PAC, which made a filing yesterday with the Federal Election Commission, is opposing Republican candidates in some Senate and governors' races.
