I actually do think that getting Flynn elected would be quite good, and would be open to other ways to contribute. eg if phonebanking seems to be the bottleneck, could I pay for my friends to phonebank, or is there some rule about needing to be “volunteers”?
I also think that helping Carrick would be super good!
Regarding phone banking, I wouldn’t be that interested in paying for volunteers. The most important factor in the effectiveness of the calls is that the caller is genuinely enthusiastic about the candidate - basically, if the caller is really interested, the person on the other end of the line has three times more chances of being convinced than if the caller is not really enthusiastic about the candidate. (I don’t have the specific paper this was in.) So it’s great if you get your friends to call, but they need to be “in”!
Other ways to contribute:
donating until Sunday to get really good ads in front of voters (max $2,900) (it’s less effective than a few days ago, but still valuable!) and/or get your friends to donate!
