2. I totally agree. I gave money in 2020 at the federal level

Aug 2022

including small donations to a variety of Senate races throughout the US. What incensed me is that my few donations in 2020 propagated to TONS of state and federal candidates in 2022 who I had NO CLUE about. I guess I failed to check some data privacy field in one of the contributions I made that led to my name, email address/phone being traded around the country.

I found it DEEPLY annoying.

I have spent quite a bit of time sorting through campaign emails and texts, relegating them to junk or trash. It's not that I don't support the candidates, but if a business did this kind of spamming, I wouldn't hesitate to turn them into the appropriate federal and state regulators.
