I’ll get right to it. On Tuesday, October 20, The New York Times reported, and Forbes reported, that Michael Bloomberg has sent about $80 million to help Democrats in the midterms, according to his team. At least $50 million of it is headed to House races, including $24 million to Everytown for Gun Safety, the gun control group he cofounded, and $16 million to House Majority PAC, House Democrats’ main super PAC.
His political adviser, Howard Wolfson, told the Times that Bloomberg believes money can shape election results.
Here’s what we already knew.
On October 6, Everytown teamed up with House Majority PAC to launch a $10 million TV and digital ad campaign in eight handpicked U.S. House races. Everytown says every one of the eight candidates is a former Moms Demand Action volunteer.
That’s the small number.
Groups tied to George Soros have put $102 million into Democracy PAC, the super PAC he founded, this election cycle. Democracy PAC has given $4 million to House Majority PAC, the same super PAC running Everytown’s ads.
Bloomberg’s $80 million plus the $102 million from groups tied to Soros is $182 million between them.
We aren’t counting Everytown’s $10 million campaign on top of that, because Bloomberg’s new money already includes $24 million to Everytown and $16 million to House Majority PAC, the two groups running it.
Here’s why.
Republicans hold 219 House seats, counting one independent who sits with them. Democrats hold 214, and two seats are empty. A net gain of three seats would hand Democrats the House, and that’s where they’re putting the money.
So what happens if it works?
A national firearms permit, which means you’d need Washington’s permission slip just to own a gun. Red Flag Gun Confiscation, which lets a judge order your guns taken before you’ve been charged with anything. And universal gun registration, which puts every private sale, even between neighbors, under government paperwork.
It doesn’t stop in Washington, either. Money like this flows down to the Statehouse, and Ohio politicians are watching who wins.
Ohio Gun Owners isn’t sitting this out. We’re running email, texts and digital ads so Ohio gun owners know what’s at stake. We don’t need to match them dollar for dollar. We need to stay on the field through November 3.
Will you chip in $10, $25 or $100 to keep it running?
