Thanks wonkie, I'll note that I a saw a post yesterday with a photo of Chris and the two other Democrats running in the primary for that House seat, everyone looking very jovial. So possibly more practical to wait until after the primary to donate to whomever ends up being the general election candidate. But I don't know anything about the mechanics of running a campaign, campaign finance, etc.

I realize this is pretty much OT, but is politically related. Just seeing on social media in the last two hours that a friend of mine has announced he is running for Congress in Georgia’s 11th district. He is a lawyer and has been working mostly in the family law, situations where children have been put in state supervision, that kind of thing. He drew up my first estate documents 12 years ago when he was a newly minted lawyer, I had contacted him in the last few weeks about getting them updated.
Getting messages from a mutual friend about this as I type. I had joked about calling our friend Don Quixote, since a Democrat can’t win that district, my friend acknowledged that, but said it’s important for contributing to overall statewide turnout, more Democratic votes in that district won’t win the seat, but those will be votes to re-elect Ossoff to the Senate.
LJ channeling Atrios, interesting!
