FWIW, I regularly monitor candidate fundraising efforts. It becomes clear whether or not a candidate needs additional support.

I also didn't give money to Mark Kelly in 2020.

She is in for the fight of her life and millions will be dumped into those opposing her and Warnock.

I’m more inclined to donate locally.

My huge problem is gerrymandering.

But anyone will be pleased with any donation.

Thanks.

The amount of funding they've already received, or are likely to receive, is only one factor. Sometimes donating is just the right thing to do.

I want her to become an immediate frontrunner/formidable challenger in the race to jumpstart momentum.

Assuming that you have limited funds for political donation, it isn't unreasonable to wait until the primary period has ended and evaluate which Democratic candidate(s) can most benefit from the dollars that you can spare.

You may find that, come next May, she's flush with cash and ahead of her republican opponent because they had a rough primary.

Act Blue makes it easy to donate even to state election candidates, so I think I'll focus on those.
However, I am going to contribute to the opponents of the GOPers I hate the most-- Boebert, Greene, Gosar, McConnell.
