Everytown for Gun Safety, the group co-founded by former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, is launching a $5 million TV ad buy in Iowa and North Carolina Senate races this week
Everytown for Gun Safety, the group co-founded by former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, is launching a $5 million TV ad buy in Iowa and North Carolina this week, marking the first major round of spending from the organization in Senate races this year.
The group, which promotes stricter gun laws, announced earlier this year it would spend at least $60 million on elections in 2020, with a focus on flipping Republican-held Senate seats. Iowa and North Carolina represent two of the most critical states in the country for determining which party controls the Senate next year, and both have seen massive investments in TV ads from outside groups in both parties.The ads start running Tuesday and are negative spots criticizing GOP Sens.
