In reply to the discussion: Bloomberg Spends $764,232.35 Buying Oregon Background Check Bill [View all]sarisataka
(20,992 posts)11. Bloomberg is many places besides the East Coast
Off the top of my head he has spent big money on gun issues in CO, WA and OR. He also was instrumental in getting Tea Partiers elected to Dem held Senate seats in AR and AK. He tried to get a third in MT but failed.
He has also spent $$$ on school board elections in CA and I believe NV. Isn't he a supporter of common core?
He is spreading his money far and wide- not all of it is benign; not that one should expect Mr. Stop-and-frisk to support the rights of the unwashed masses all of the time.
