Have you thought about whether people donating should also communicate with the campaign somehow, e.g. emailing them and saying why you donated?
$1M / $7k is only ~143, so a significant fraction of the major donors might be AI safety motivated, and at minimum it seems good for the campaign to be aware of this if they aren’t already. Would it make sense for donors to coordinate around this somehow?
(My impression is that people/groups donating large amounts to politician get some benefit beyond just helping a candidate they support, but I don’t know how it usually works.)
