Bloomberg donates $2 million to support grassroots organizing in swing states
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced he is donating $2 million to support grassroots organizing efforts in 12 key states to boost Democrats’ efforts up and down the ballot.
The donation to Swing Left, announced Tuesday, will support the organization’s work in states that are presidential battlegrounds or host competitive congressional races.
Swing Left, which “strategically harnesses grassroots energy and channels it to support eventual Democratic nominees in the most competitive races up and down the ballot,” will use the funds in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin.
Bloomberg dumped nearly $500 million of his own money in his failed White House bid but has vowed to continue tapping into his vast personal fortune support the Democratic presidential nominee, down-ballot contenders and liberal groups.
