Financially Support Candidates & Organizations

Sometimes giving money is the action you want to take but the requests can be overwhelming. Democrats of Rossmoor recommend you focus on a few key winnable elections and organizations you know and trust and forget the rest. Don’t give to a PAC you never heard of or one that promises matched donations. Money donated directly to a candidate will go further than a PAC.
