 PLEDGE OF FAIR CAMPAIGN PRACTICES
(Utah Code 20A-9-206)

There are basic principles of decency, honesty, and fair play which every candidate for public office in
the State of Utah has a moral obligation to observe and uphold, in order that, after vigorously contested
but fairly conducted campaigns, our citizens may exercise their right to a free election, and that the will of
the people may be fully and clearly expressed on the issues.

THEREFORE:

I SHALL conduct my campaign openly and publicly, discussing the issues as I see them, presenting
my record and policies with sincerity and frankness, and criticizing, without fear or favor, the record and
policies of my opponents that I believe merit criticism.
I SHALL NOT use, nor shall I permit the use of, scurrilous attacks on any candidate or the candidate's
immediate family. I shall not participate in or nor shall I permit the use of defamation, libel, or slander
against any candidate or the candidate's immediate family. I shall not participate in nor shall I permit the
use of any other criticism of any candidate or the candidate's immediate family that I do not believe to be
truthful, provable, and relevant to my campaign.
I SHALL NOT use, nor shall I permit the use of, any practice that tends to corrupt or undermine our
American system of free elections, or that hinders or prevents the free expression of the will of the voters,
including practices intended to hinder or prevent any eligible person from registering to vote or voting.
I SHALL NOT coerce election help or campaign contributions for myself or for any other candidate
from my employees or volunteers.
I SHALL immediately and publicly repudiate support deriving from any individual or group which
resorts, on behalf of my candidacy or in opposition to that of an opponent, to methods in violation of the
letter or spirit of this pledge. I shall accept responsibility to take firm action against any subordinate who
violates any provision of this pledge or the laws governing elections.
I SHALL defend and uphold the right of every qualified American voter to full and equal participation
in the electoral process.
I, the undersigned, candidate for election to public office in the State of Utah, hereby voluntarily
endorse, subscribe to, and solemnly pledge myself to conduct my campaign in accordance with the above
principles and practices.

Name: ______________________________________________ Office: _________________________________

Signature: _______________________________________________________ Date: _______________________

*This is a voluntary pledge. Candidates are not required to sign this pledge of fair campaign practices.

*This document is considered a public record and will be retained for public inspection until 30 days following the
election.
