Sen. Ted Cruz is the No. 1 recipient of campaign donations from gun-rights backers in the 2018 election cycle, attracting $309,021 in contributions.
An earlier version of this report gave an incorrect location for one of the shootings. The report has been corrected.
The powerful gun-rights group shelled out $9.55 million during the midterm election, down from a whopping $54.40 million in the 2016 cycle, which featured a presidential election. The big decline has come as the NRA deals with shaky finances and infighting. Gun-control organizations, on the other hand, are on track to spend their most ever on lobbying, even as their outlays stay below the other side’s totals. They have shelled out $1.24 million in this year’s first half, putting them on pace to top their 2013 total of $2.22 million.
