Bloomberg says will donate more than anybody has before to female candidates
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Monday pledged to contribute more money into backing women candidates in the upcoming midterm elections "than any individual ever has before."
Bloomberg did not disclose a specific figure that he would contribute, but has previously said that he's committing to spend $80 million to help Democrats in this election cycle, with a focus on House candidates.
Bloomberg argued about the importance of electing more women into political office in making his commitment.
"I will be putting more money into supporting women candidates this cycle than any individual ever has before because if we're going to win, it's going to be women that get us there. And I want to do my part," Bloomberg said at an event for Emily's List, a group whose goal is to elect Democratic women who back abortion rights.
