Houston residents say they are receiving a flood of political text messages and mailed flyers as the November 3, 2026, U.S. midterm elections draw near.
Tech expert Juan Guevara Torres explained that data‑broker companies gather personal information and use it to direct campaign communications to individual voters.
Political analyst Mark Jones noted that expanding early‑voting options could lessen the need for extensive text outreach from campaigns.
These observations come amid a surge in campaign activity as the midterm contests approach.
