Do political texts have to stop?

This is practical information, not legal advice. In many cases, legitimate senders provide opt-out language, and replying STOP may remove you from that sender’s list. The frustrating part is that other campaigns, committees, or vendors may still text you.

Why opt-outs can feel incomplete

Political campaigns often use separate lists and texting vendors. An opt-out from one sender does not always remove your number from every organization that may contact you.

What to do when texts continue

Keep using legitimate opt-outs for trusted senders, avoid suspicious links, block repeat numbers, and use a filter like FingerWag for recurring political-message patterns from unknown senders.
