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:
(1) 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 permit the 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 of any 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 of a political committee,hereby voluntarily endorse, subscribe to, and solemnly pledge
myself to conduct the campaign in accordance w' h .e above principles and practices.
