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.

Local elections, where the lesser devil of the two running needs the boost.

State elections, Dems all the way because I am in a gerrymandered state and they need the support.

Federal? I don't even try. I would do Dems there too, but I feel like there's so much money in national levels that my 5 bucks ain't helping anyone.

Thanks, makes sense!
