Campaign Ethics
Whether in office or on the campaign trail, Bellevue deserves leaders committed to transparency and accountability. Our campaign will center these values throughout.
Our Core Commitments
Transparency
We are committed to honest communication with the public. We disclose all campaign finances according to the law and aim to ensure donors, expenditures and affiliations are accessible and understandable.
Fairness and Respect
Our campaign will not indulge in personal attacks, misinformation, or manipulation. We believe in elevating civil debate, and will treat our opponents, the media, and voters with respect at all times, regardless of belief.
Truth in Messaging
All campaign materials and statements will be rigorously fact-checked and truthful. We reject any forms of misinformation or sensationalism.
Legal Compliance
We strictly abide by any federal, state or local campaign laws, including campaign finance laws, advertising disclosures, and voter outreach guidelines. We work with legal advisors to ensure full accountability.
Ethical Fundraising
We accept campaign contributions only from groups or individuals that reflect our values. We reject contributions from sources seeking undue influence, and forbid any contributions that violate the law or public trust.
Privacy and Data Responsibility
Your privacy is important. We will never sell or distribute your data; all data collected by our campaign is handled responsibly and securely.
Staff and Volunteer Conduct
Our campaign expects all staff and volunteers to behave with professionalism and respect. We actively and regularly support our team in fostering an inclusive environment.
