Hi Alex,

First, thanks for returning our $7k which we'd contributed in advance for your race in the general, It went to Angie's race.

We contributed heavily to florida races and mostly sentorial races around the country. we were often frustrated by unclear limitations on "Victory Funds" We were frustrated to discover that a candidate's Florida Victory Fund joint Committee shared a $10k limit with others in the state with the same setup, such that when we gave $10k to your fund, we couldn;t give any to anyone elses.

Angie used a different system and apparently was able to accept up to $62k IIRC.

We were able to contribute to other camapigns through the House Majority Pac but because of the rules could not be assured that the money would go to the right campaign.

This is a mess which I think should be fixed. It shouldn't be difficult for those of us who can to give more money to the candidates we like.

Fixing this would be a big help in 2028 and after. Why shouldn't it be just as easy for me to sjpport a specific cancdidate's campaign as it apparenltyl is for Elon Musk?

LTC Vindman, Thank you for running and thank you for supporting other Democrats both in Florida and elsewhere. Breaking a supermajority in both state houses is great news. I agree with Mr. Ferguson, that funding at the individual level is a mess. Some Democratic candidates in Florida did have PAC's, others did not. I realize that there are rules against "coordination" between candidates' campaigns and the PACs, but there should be a mechanism to communicate the name of a "Victory Fund" or other PAC without tripping over these rules. It can be hard on ActBLUE to find victory funds. As an example, Kathy Castor's fund is called Athena fund. How would someone not "in the know" know to look for that?
