I’m sure that there’s some datapoint from 2011 that shows boosted conversion rates on political fundraising texts/emails that appear “from the candidate”, but in 2026 I’d really like to challenge some consultant to just try sending normal msgs like you’d get from your local community non-profit

In that phase of the side-project cycle where I'm not interested in working on any of my unfinished projects, I want to start something new, but I can't think of anything in particular.
