After months of pressure from Republicans, Google has a new plan to keep campaign emails from being marked as spam, according to new documents obtained by The Verge<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s plan, first reported by Axios<\/em><\/a>, would allow for candidates, political party committees, and leadership political action committees to apply for a special \u201cpilot program\u201d that would make their messages exempt from Gmail\u2019s spam detection systems. The idea was proposed to the Federal Elections Commission in a June 21st filing asking for the body\u2019s approval. <\/p>\n

Google spokesperson Jos\u00e9 Casta\u00f1eda confirmed in a statement Tuesday that the company made the request to the FEC. He described the program as an opportunity to \u201chelp improve inboxing rates for political bulk senders and provide more transparency into email deliverability, while still letting users protect their inboxes by unsubscribing or labeling emails as spam.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the pilot program would spare authorized campaign\u2019s from Gmail\u2019s algorithmic spam detection, users would receive a new notification asking if they would like to continue receiving the emails once they first hit their inbox. <\/p>\n

Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) was the first Republican to suggest GOP campaign emails were being wrongly flagged as spam disproportionately to Democrats back in 2020. \u201cMy parents, who have a Gmail account, aren\u2019t getting my campaign emails,\u201d Steube told Google CEO Sundar Pichai during a high-profile tech executive hearing<\/a> that year. <\/p>\n
