Everytown for Gun Safety will spend 3 million dollars on digital ads for governor races in several competitive states together with the Democratic Governors Association. An October Federal Election Commission filing for the group's Super PAC listed a 22 million dollar gift from Michael Bloomberg, its founder and top donor, making this the strongest midterm fundraising period yet for Everytown's political arm. The organization has already committed 9 million dollars toward digital advertising in state legislative races in Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin plus 10 million dollars aimed at House and Senate contests. President John Feinblatt said gun safety measures need a governor's signature and named Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada and Wisconsin as places where voters can choose executives who will enact such laws. Gun-control organizations have outspent the National Rifle Association and other firearm-rights groups this cycle even as surveys place gun policy last among voter concerns.
