by KRISTINA WATROBSKI | Crisis in the ClassroomLeft to right: Erika Ogedegbe , Mike Bloomberg and Anne Donohue .Billionaire philanthropist and former New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg is channeling more than a quarter of a million dollars to help seat Democrats on the Loudoun County, Va. school board.

Donohue has received $19,982.12 in campaign contributions from the Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund since March. The majority of the sum stems from a singular October contribution of $19,217.41. Ogedegbe and Donohue are both endorsed by Democrats. Joe Smith, a Republican-endorsed candidate who has the third-highest overall contributions, has not received any contributions from the Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund."I'm the only candidate in my race that has prioritized student safety and mental health, and I'm the only candidate who has spoken openly about the need to prevent gun violence in our schools," Donohue told CITC.
