I've been interested in donating before, but this is actually the main thing holding me back. I get so little spam and unwanted messages (email and text), and I am trying extremely hard to keep it that way.

So thanks for validating my decision :)

Use a email alias service like simple login, duck duck go’s private duck address etc You can disable that email alias and never receive emails sent to that address again

I wish we had something similar for phone numbers

It’s not worth it. Politicians have shown they can’t be trusted with our contact info. No one should be jumping through hoops to hide their identity to donate money.

Maybe if donations go to 0 they’ll finally get the message that citizens don’t want to be harassed for donations.

This is in no way enough to prevent election spam.

You have to give your name and address as a public record, and they will likely find your phone number and email and will call, text, and spam you from there.
