CODE OF FAIR CAMPAIGN PRACTICES
There are basic principles of decency, honesty, and fair play that every candidate and political committee in this state
has a moral obligation to observe and uphold, in order that, after vigorously contested but fairly conducted campaigns,
our citizens may exercise their constitutional rights to a free and untrammeled choice and the will of the people may be
fully and clearly expressed on the issues.
THEREFORE:
(I) I will conduct the campaign openly and publicly and limit attacks on my opponent to legitimate challenges to my
opponent's record and stated positions on issues.
(2) I will not use or perrnitthe use of character defamation, whispering campaigns, libel, slander, or scurrilous attacks
on any candidate or the candidate's personal or family life.
(3) I will not use or permit any appeal to negative prejudice based on race, sex, religion, or national origin.
( 4) I will not use campaign material ofany sort that misrepresents, distorts, or otherwise falsifies the facts, nor will I
use malicious or unfounded accusations that aim at creating or exploiting doubts, without justification, as to the
personal integrity or patriotism of my opponent.
(5) I will not undertake or condone any dishonest or unethical practice that tends to corrupt or undermine our system
of free elections or that hampers or prevents the full and free expression of the will of the voters, including any
activity aimed at intimidating voters or discouraging them from voting.
(6) I will defend and uphold the right of every qualified voter to full and equal participation in the electoral process,
and will not engage in any activity aimed at intimidating voters or discouraging them from voting.
(7) I will immediately and publicly repudiate methods and tactics that may come from others that I have pledged not
to use or condone. I shall take firm action against any subordinate who violates any provision of this code or the
laws governing elections.
I, the undersigned, candidate for election to public office in the State of Texas or campaign treasurer ofa political
committee, hereby voluntarily endorse, subscribe to, and solemnly pledge myself to conduct the campaign in accordance
with the above principles and practices.
