constitutional right to a free and untrammeled choice and the will of the people may be fully and clearly expressed on the issues.
THEREFORE:
(1) ISHALL CONDUCT my campaign openly and publicly, discussing the issues as lsee them, presenting my record and policies
with sincerity and frankness, and criticizing without fear or favor the record and policies of my opponents or political parties that merit this
criticism.
(2) I SHALL NOT USE OR PERMIT the use of character defamation, whispering campaigns, libel, slander, or scurrilous attacks on
any candidate or his or her personal or family life.

(6) I SHALL IMMEDIATELY AND PUBLICLY REPUDIATE support deriving from any individual or group that resorts, on behalf of
my candidacy or in opposition to that of my opponent, to the methods and tactics that I condemn. I shall accept responsibility to take firm action
against any subordinate who violates any provision of this code or the laws governing elections,
