Bloomberg’s Gun Control Group Is Spending Millions To Turn Texas Blue

Bloomberg’s anti-2nd Amendment group, Everytown for Gun Safety, hopes to usher in candidates in Texas who will make gun control their top priority.

They are pumping in $8 million into Texas races with the goal of flipping the state House and returning vulnerable Democrats to Congress.

The Dallas Morning News reports:

“Everytown for Gun Safety unveiled plans Wednesday to use the same strategies it employed last year in Virginia, where Democrats won control of the state house for the first time in two decades. Since then, Virginia lawmakers have advanced proposals to expand background checks and limit handgun purchases, but a bill to ban assault-style weapons stalled this week.
“We believe Texas can be the next emerging battleground, with gun safety as the tipping point,” Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, said during a call announcing the initiative. “The state is becoming younger and increasingly diverse. And after years of failure by leaders to address gun violence, it’s become a top issue for voters, especially in the suburbs.”...
The group’s ads in Texas will target suburban voters, particularly women — a key demographic in many swing districts this cycle. A network of roughly 400,000 Texas supporters of Moms Demand Action will block-walk and staff phone banks for candidates, in addition to registering voters, Watts said.

Let’s hope they keep their word and become a vocal part of every toss-up race in the state, that’ll make the choice clear for Texans who cherish the 2nd Amendment.
