Interesting nugget in City & State’s, “Political Consultants Power 50“:

23. Doug Schoen & Carly Cooperman
Founder; CEO, Schoen Cooperman Research

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg relied heavily on Doug Schoen, his go-to pollster, to catch up to the rest of the pack during his short-lived presidential bid. Last month, Schoen brought on Carly Cooperman as CEO and rebranded as Schoen Cooperman Research. The firm is Everytown for Gun Safety’s long-time pollster and helped Democrats flip Virginia’s state legislature in 2019.

Key client: Michael Bloomberg, Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, Melissa Mark-Viverito (for public advocate)

NRA lawsuit against Cuomo dismissed

On: August 14, 2020August 14, 2020 By: admin

From News 10 Albany:

“The lawsuit filed by the National Rifle Association (NRA) against Governor Cuomo has been dismissed. The lawsuit stemmed from challenging the constitutionality of Executive Order 202.8, which required gun shops and ammunition manufacturers to reduce their in-person workforce by 100%. The suit was dismissed in it its entirety.”

Lawsuit having an effect on NRA

On: August 14, 2020 By: admin

Fox News reports:

“… According to the NRA’s most recent filings, it has spent less than $1 million in the 2020 election cycle – a fraction of the over $8 million spent at this point in the 2016 campaign …”

That’s the goal of Tish James’ lawsuit.

The problem is the NRA Board her lots of ammunition to use against them.

A-8078C, Permits 4-H certified shooting sports instructors to supervise and instruct persons under sixteen years of age at shooting ranges, and A-8666A, Relates to authorizing hunting big game by rifle in the County of Tompkins, have been sent to the Governor.
