Political campaign contributions

[firecat]

Politically engaged readers in the US who contribute financially: How do you decide which election campaigns to give money to? I’m getting about a dozen requests a day and I’m so sick of them I’m disinclined to support any, but that doesn’t feel wise. I believe in supporting my representatives but it also seems like a good idea to support key races elsewhere but I don’t know how to decide which ones. I’d rather pick a few to focus on than give small amounts to all of them.

Every so often I feel up to researching some of the people begging for money, and I pick one or two to give $5 to. I have been told by people in development that the total of people who gave is as important as the amount raised, so no matter how small the donation it helps.

Thanks!
