IIRC, Everytown for Gun Safety is basically a front group for Michael Bloomberg. That's the guy who also spent nearly a billion dollars on his vanity presidential campaign: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/20/us/politics/bloomberg-campaign-900-million.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/20/us/politics/bloomberg-cam....
Your example might be more of an example of the corrosive effect of politically active billionaires, who have the ability to outspend actual citizens' groups. IIRC, the billionaire Koch bothers were able to similarly wield outsized influence by spending heavily in down-ballot state races.
