I may stop direct candidate contributions for 2020

[RandySF]

I am pondering the possibility of no longer donating maoney directly to candidates to focus on the underlying infrastructure that supports the entire ticket. Here is my likely list:

- Swing Left
- Run for Something
- Wisconsin Democratic Party (We stop Trump cold if we win here)
- National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC)
- Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC)
- Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC)


What is your 2020 strategy?

[CrispyQ]

1. I support my local dem party, my state reps & senate campaign funds, &

my 2020 contributions will go to whoever is Cory Gardner's democratic challenger.

2. I will support TX Democrats and the TX Democratic party. Beyond that.....

Since Jay Inslee dropped out of the presidential race, it might be a while before I decide to seriously contribute to one of the candidates still standing. No Senator who publicly urged Al Franken to resign will get a cent from me except if they become the party nominee on their own.

The DNC will get a contribution as long as I still have even token input in there (getting Rev. Barber on the speaking roster at the convention is token--they do not consult with me on policy! LOL!!).

3. I tend to donate to local candidates

Just donated to Annie's List (a Texas based group) the other night.

I've been donating to Julian Castro. (Mainly so he can stay on the debate stage...He only lives about 7 miles from me, so I guess you could say he's local!)

4. Watch out for the DCCC

they're pretty much just an "incumbent protection committee". I'm not sure how committed they are to any other goal.

5. They embedded a full office in SoCal last year

And helped to flip 5 seats. They’re doing the same in Texas now. But yes, they have a lot of vulnerable incumbents to protect in 2020.

6. Your county party is always in need of funding

Also Democratic Grass Roots CLubs and organizations. Support their fundraisers. Join the groups so they can benefit from your dues (usually very reasonable)
Join a campaign
Become a Precinct Chair, or a Neighborhood captain for your precinct chair.
Volunteer at the County Party

sign up with https://postcardstovoters.org/ You will be notified when postcards are needed to help GOTV in elections. The focus is on special elections and runoffs. For example, I just received 10 mailing addresses for Louisiana voters (Democrats) to remind them to get out for the runoff for governor in 10 days and elect Gov John Bell Edwards

Frankly, I do not donate to NDRC, DLCC, DCCC because I do not know what they will do with my $$. I much prefer to donate to my local candidates who will also get my vote. From state House to US Senate their representation is the most direct. I'd rather give a roll of stamps to a postcard campaign,

7. In purple NC it's all about GOTV efforts county by county.

8. I donate to our Senators (Warner, Kaine), to the Democratic pick for

House of Representatives, and to the person who is the Democratic nominee for President.
