Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg’s gun control group is planning to spend at least $8m in Texas to elect state and federal politicians who support what it calls “gun sense” laws, including requiring background checks before all gun sales.
Last year, Everytown for Gun Safety poured at least $2.5m into state races in Virginia, backing candidates who supported tougher gun laws and helping to elect a Democratic state house majority for the first time in 26 years.

Now, it is pledging to use the same tactics in Texas, one of the most gun-friendly states in the nation.

Overall, Everytown, the nation’s largest gun control group, has pledged to spend at least $60m on 2020 races across the country, as Bloomberg, the group’s founder and major donor, pours hundreds of millions of dollars into his own presidential campaign.
