•To use only overt campaign methods, not using or tolerating surrogates or any other similarly deceptive tactics
•To develop and distribute positive campaign literature and messages
•To focus on issues, not personalities
•To welcome differences of opinion as opportunities for growth
•To show respect when faced with disrespect
•To be a role model of integrity
•To help establish our community government as one in which its leaders uphold the public trust with integrity while modeling behaviors of dignity and respect
•If elected, I promise to uphold these principles during my term of office
