Google’s new Verified Sender Program gives qualifying US political committees an easier path past Gmail’s spam filtering

Google General Counsel Halimah Delaine Prado joins 'Fox & Friends' to detail how Google is fighting AI-powered phishing scams.

If your Gmail inbox already feels crowded, election season may add another layer of noise. Starting Sept. 8, 2026, Google's new Gmail Verified Sender Program will give qualifying U.S. political committees a more reliable path to personal Gmail accounts. That means qualifying political committees will have a new way to improve the reliability of their email delivery, provided they follow Google's security, authentication and spam requirements.

The program applies to eligible candidates, parties, PACs and other registered political committees that meet Google's requirements. Campaign Verify's eligibility criteria focus on registration and program requirements, regardless of party label.
