Why is politician Deb McManus sending me unsolicited emails asking for money?

I had a solicitation from McManus [asking for a donation] sent to my email inbox. It was addressed to me personally, calling me by my first name.

Does anyone know how a candidate gets email addresses?

To unsubscribe you cannot just click on a button, but have to fill out several lines of personal information first.

As with those automated calls around election time, this unsolicited email makes me less likely to endorse a candidate.
