The money is a flowing on the Anti-gun side..

Lucy McBath, whose son, Jordan Davis, was a victim in a high-profile murder in 2012, has spent the past five years as Faith and Outreach Leader for Moms Demand Action, and as a leader of Everytown’s Survivor Network. She narrowly edged out fellow Democrat Kevin Abel in the primary for Georgia’s 6th Congressional District on Tuesday, picking up just over 53 percent of the vote. McBath is now set to run against Republican incumbent Karen Handel this Fall, who last year picked up the endorsement of both the National Rifle Association and President Donald Trump.
The gun control group, bankrolled in large part by billionaire former New York Mayor Micheal Bloomberg, said in a release Tuesday that they have poured $1.2 million into McBath’s campaign so far, spread across television, digital, mail and radio advertisements — which would amount to all of her reported outside spending.
