3 or 4 races where money would make a difference

and we have a realistic chance. Great respect for knowledge in this group. Have held a few bucks back for last minute. Also my grandson told me he wanted to contribute where it could make a difference. Please share your learned advice.

Recently re-drawn District (more favorable to DEMS) incumbent GOP'er Mike Garcia is vulnerable.

I agree with another poster that Tim Ryan needs the cash and is in a tight race. Demings is further behind than Ryan is in the polls and she's doing well with her fundraising. Nevada is really tight; Cortez Masto would be the candidate to support there. Warnock has only a slight lead over Walker but he has a lot more cash on hand than Walker does, so I don't think a donation to him would be as impactful as a donation to other candidates.

I know less about the House candidates, but you might want to look at five thirty eight's forecast there: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-election-forecast/house/?cid=rrpromo And maybe other DUers have thoughts about key secretary of state or governor races you and your grandson might want to support.
