Michael Bloomberg lost a lot of money in the two Virginia elections in 2015 last night. Bloomberg's surrogate disarmist organization spent about 2.2 million dollars trying to buy a Virginia state Senate seat, and a Virginia House of Delegates seat.
Bloomberg reportedly spent $2.2 million in the two elections. He spent $700,000 in the Senate race. From townhall.com:
A day earlier, Everytown said it would spend $700,000 on ads for Democrat Dan Gecker, who is battling Republican Glen Sturtevant to represent part of Richmond and the surrounding suburbs in the Senate. That seat is being vacated by retiring Sen. John C. Watkins (R-Powhatan).
Here are the vote totals for the Virginia Senate election from virginia.gov:
Bloomberg's man, Daniel A. Gecker - 26,171 votes, 47.09 %
Republican Glen H. Sturtevant, Jr. - 27,665 votes, 49.78 %
According to Townhall, Bloomberg spent 1.5 million to attempt to elect disarmist Democrat Jeremy McPike in the Virginia House of Delegates.
Less than two weeks before Election Day, Everytown for Gun Safety announced Thursday that it would spend $1.5 million in TV and online ads for Democrat Jeremy McPike. He is running against Manassas Mayor Harry J. “Hal†Parrish II (R) to succeed retiring Sen. Charles J. Colgan (D-Prince William).
It appears that Bloomberg money is toxic to the candidates he wants elected. Here are the results of the Virginia House of Delegates effort, precinct 029. From virginia.gov:

Think of all the hungry children he could have fed with that money...

Great news for VA.
Sadly, all 3 open Supreme Court seats in PA went to dems. The zombies were out in force in PA yesterday.
Awesome. I might have a Big Gulp in celebration. What do you think, Bloomberg?
