Your answer is spot on; the campaign is not counting any credit right now (weird) but you are correct.

He would have more juice at the DNC than with HVF.

How hard is it?
Any advice on how to further answer this - I replied with something about the campaign needing primary money and probably not counting victory fund money for too much at this point?

The one question I need to get a handle on is what I get if I give the $33,400 by June 1 to the Victory Fund - either from the campaign or the DNC. and, how does that compare to being a Hillraiser.

Well… giving to the DNC only strengthens it for when she is the nominee and gets you into the convention -
The argument for giving thru the Victory Fund is credit or access…. If the campaign will give you more credit for giving through the victory fund and more access because you can attend a smaller event post convention with that max out check - then, you should wait - but going to convention is also part of “being there” and “getting credit”
So…. Stephen Bittel is the co-chair with Henry Munoz and there are a handful of vice chairs including me - the staff and Stephen gave lists to each of the Vice Chairs - but I am happy to throw this back to the staff so you can discuss the options with them - no problem whatsoever -
Always happy to talk - lunch may 12 or 20? Lunch is harder this month because there are so many luncheons :(
And just send some times to talk on the phone - better than playing phone tag!

We're back for good on the 8th. I plan on going to the convention and, of course, want the best package but, in the scheme of everything, it's less important than Hillary becoming President. Happy to talk with you but my inclination is to give to the Victory Fund. Also, I'm curious who asked you to reach out. They usually call me directly. In any event, let's talk, either by phone or over lunch, as I always value your opinion.

Glad the kids are doing well. That's most important.

Be well

B -
Hi!!! How are you? Are you and Sue back here full time yet?  today’s weather is probably not helping on that front - :(
I am the same as ever - busy with PP and the boys - my younger one is a month away from high school graduation!! Yay! And the older one is almost done with freshman year and on his way home next week -
So….. Lucky you…. I have been asked to contact you about your giving to the DNC…..I thought I would email you rather than call and put you on the spot.
I know you are all in for Hillary (thank goodness things are looking good there finally), but the DNC is looking to past generous supporters like you for contributions now, before the convention.  I know there is an argument for giving through the Hillary Victory Fund, but it is also important to give now if you want anything at convention….. If you do another DNC max out check now, before June 1, you qualify for a convention package….. And I am expecting you want to be there!  It has been my experience that the DNC can do more for donors than the campaign can - at this point in the cycle for a first term presidential candidate -
You know… I am as up front and straightforward as possible - so there you go
Let me know what you are thinking - the convention package information is attached
Xoxoxo
