Due to various factors--serious illness & the pandemic being chief among them--my husband and I are in a less than prosperous financial phase (unlikely to improve substantially any time soon, if ever.) Still, I'd like to donate something to a PA progressive group. Anyone have knowledge if any of the ones I mentioned are a better bet to help us keep that R wolves at bay?

In edit I think the lt governor John fetterman is also a top democrat who is running in the primary.

They play nice. We can't afford to mess this race up with an ugly primary.
I sent some money to Lamb even though I'm more left-leaning.
Really can't afford anything crazy...
