I’m sad to say I have been one of those people sending these political text messages in the past. I’m done with that world thankfully but I do have a recommendation.
I’m not certain if this applies outside of California but the most effective thing you can do is reply to the sender with “please remove this number from all text campaigns immediately.” This was the only way to make sure that we didn’t contact you again or for a different race.
By law, political text messages have to be “sent” by a real person (who sends hundreds at a time but hits “send” for each one). Phone calls are a different story; they are all automated now so it’s a bit more challenging to stop. I just filter unknown callers.
