Which is better, adopt a house district of my choice or give to the DCCC?

5. I see both sides of this

The DCCC does do some good work. They train congressional staff, have year round opposition research, and fund ads in targeted districts. However, in a non targeted district they're useless (I know this from experience).

If you don't want to donate directly to them, consider donating to the state Democratic Party of your choice (especially this early on when no candidate has emerged). If not the state party, then the county party. I've received a candidate recruitment (list serve) email from my local party stating exactly what seats are up this year asking for candidates to step forward.

ETA Swing Left is a new website that tells you where your nearest swing district is. If you want to 'adopt' a district, that would be a good starting point.
