OUR ENDORSEMENTS
To qualify for consideration for endorsement by SBPA, candidates must make the following 4 affirmative pledges.
- CORPORATE-FREE. As a corporate-free candidate I commit to refuse donations from corporations, industry lobbyists, corporate representatives, political bundlers, and Political Action Committees (except for unions) and publicize that I am a corporate free candidate in my campaign literature.
- PLEDGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY. I commit to publicize and hold regular listening sessions with my constituents, to stay in touch with their needs and concerns.
- PROGRESSIVE POLICIES. I commit to author, co-author, support, promote and defend people-focused progressive policies and practices that incorporate SBPA core values to improve communities and the quality of life for my constituents.
- DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION. I commit to help level the playing field for ALL people and prioritize
the development of leadership among under-represented communities.
