A female volunteer for a political candidate (as it is now known after the fact) called my residence telephone number. My wife answered and the female did not give her name but, asked for me by my first name. My wife asked if she could take a message and the female said "no, I will call him back".This, of course, raised some concern on my wife's part.My wife related this instance to me with her concern. I then called the telephone number in the telephone memory, which was answered by a volunteer for a political candidate.How do my wife and I register an official complaint about this? My wife is a registered voter. Is there a problem with the female caller not talking with her?

Hello,
I will be very happy to try and help you today!
What type of political campaign (federal, state, local) is at issue here?

This is a campaign on the federal level. I believe that, due to the insult perceived by my wife, it may border on sexism.
Should this be addressed by a female expert?
There are, in my opinion, two points:
1) A female calls, does not identify herself, asks for me by my first name and refuses to leave a message saying that she will call back.
2) My wife, being a registered voter, is ignored when she asks for a message.
Hello again,Thanks for writing back -- good to hear from you.
I have opted out (without charge). My fellow legal expert colleagues are able to view your question and answer in their discretion.
Due to a feature of the computer system (nothing to do with you as a customer), there may be a delay until you see my "official" opt out actually indicated as such.
It was a pleasure interacting with you. I would like to wish you all the best and truly hope you see this matter resolved.
Take care and thanks again for choosing our service!

I then called the telephone number in the telephone memory, which was answered by a volunteer for a political candidate.How do my wife and I register an official complaint about this? I would file it right with the candidate's campaign manager, letting him know how disturbing the call was. I am not seeing a crime here, however rude the volunteer may have been. If the volunteer was going down her list of people to call (which is somewhat obvious) and you were on it, that was her goal - to speak to you, not someone else. They are not required, as far as I am aware and research provides, to divert their efforts to the person that answers the phone. They are also not required to identify themselves, although I can see where it may make for hard feelings (and hardly a good compaign result), to not use proper calling etiquette.
My wife is a registered voter. Is there a problem with the female caller not talking with her? Legally? Not all all, as I am seeing it. They can talk to whoever they wish. It is not clear at all that this was a gender based calling list but even if it were, that is not prohibited.
In fact, campaigns DO specifically target groups by gender, race, income level, etc., if that is who they are trying to convince to vote their way.
They often use companies like this one:

As you can see, they use demographics including gender, all the time, to target a particular audience with a particular message.

I hope this clarifies and I wish you the best.
