The Virginia gubernatorial and attorney general races remain close, despite the influx of cash provided to both Democratic candidates by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s gun control advocacy group.
Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, a New York based gun control advocacy group founded by Bloomberg, pledged roughly $1 million in combined campaign contributions in a Sept. 14 announcement. The advocacy group contributed roughly $300,000 to Democratic incumbent Attorney General Mark Herring’s campaign and $700,000 to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam’s campaign.
