I would like to find a PAC that will distribute the $ based on most effective outcomes. Biased towards Senate for Democratic control.
I'd prefer to "send it and forget it" don't want even more solicitations emails
Any suggestions>

Act Blue is the financial linchpin for Democrats and their donors. They do it well.
I wonder if any Act Blue folks post here? If so, here is my vision on how AB could blow u[ the whole friggin fundraising game.
* I Have $250.00/mo to invest in political candidates from 5/1/22 to 11/7/2024.
* I want to go to Act Blue and see every Democratic candidate, scored by strategic value, where i can assign % of monthly payment to a variety of candidates as I see fit.
* Act Blue invoices me once per month. They distribute as per my % allocation.
* I can change the allocation on this matrix monthly if I want.
{ May make an OP for greater visibility )
On edit: I have to believe that AB has the Back Office Support structure in place to develop and roll this out quickly.

they run on shoestring and shoe leather.

Keep track of your monthly credit card statements. I only tried doing a recurring donation once, and assumed it would end when my candidate won. It didnt end, and I failed to catch it for 3 or 4 months.
You can make it stop by challenging the charge with your credit card company. In my case, I took advantage of the fact that my Visa card is handled via Chase Bank, so I dropped in and talked to a human being. That nice person got the whole thing done on the phone and computer in minutes. Im still very glad my candidate won, and dont blame anybody. But if I do it again Ill be sure to keep better track.
Thanks for supporting Dems!

In 2022, I'd weight to State and Local, I'd reweight for 2024 State and National elections.
