Handling Campaign-Related Emails

By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | December 3, 2020

In response to concerns raised by SAA members, the SAA contacted the Wisconsin Ethics Commission and asked how SAA members should handle campaign-related emails sent to their work email address by candidates for public office.

In response, Ethics Commission staff shared two important pieces of advice for all officers or employees of a Wisconsin political subdivision (like a school district):

  1. If you would like to respond to campaign-related emails, respond via your personal email account and personal device; and

  1. While the Commission staff did not comment on the permissibility of campaigns sending campaign-related emails to school email addresses, staff did say it is best to avoid the use of public resources (computers and email accounts) for these types of communications altogether.

I hope you find this information useful.
