Behind every successful fundraising mailing is a carefully curated list, and that’s where CMDI comes in. Building an effective direct mail strategy isn’t just about sending letters. It’s about using clean, segmented, and strategic data to connect with the right supporters. Whether a candidate is brand-new or a seasoned campaigner, our mailing list process helps maximize fundraising results and minimize wasted effort.  

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) recently issued an interpretive rule clarifying how existing regulations apply to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in political campaigns. Instead of pursuing a new rulemaking process, the commissioners confirmed that AI-generated deceptive content is already covered under existing laws barring fraudulent misrepresentation. This decision comes in response to growing concerns over the use of AI to create misleading political advertisements and deepfakes ahead of the upcoming election cycle. 

In the world of political campaigns, having accurate and clean data is essential. Whether you’re running a small, local campaign or managing data at the national level, poor data hygiene can result in wasted resources, missed opportunities, and compliance issues. Greg Andreycak, Director of Account Services for CMDI, shared his insights into best practices for data management and how campaigns can maintain clean, effective data.
