In an age of increasing political mistrust, it's no longer enough to vote for party or personality. It's time to ask the deeper question: Does your candidate serve you — or their party?
The Politician’s Creed (TPC) is a nonpartisan oath designed to re-center the relationship between politicians and the people they serve. It defines, in clear and principled terms, the values a public servant must uphold to protect our democratic republic.
If the candidate you're supporting hasn’t yet committed to TPC, share this site with them. Ask them to read the Creed, and to swear by it. If they won’t, ask them why not.
Your constituents deserve more than vague promises and rehearsed soundbites. They deserve accountability, honesty, and a public servant who aligns with their needs — not the will of a party machine*.
If you’re running for office — or already hold it — and you agree with the principles of The Politician’s Creed, we invite you to make your commitment public. Candidates who swear to uphold TPC may also be eligible for endorsement by The Oath of Office. Because the Oath Of Office only endorses TPC-certified candidates/politicians, it's endorsement process includes the TPC certification.
It starts with one decision: Who will you serve?
* If you feel you are not able to safely vote your conscience for fear of your party's retribution, consider endorsement by The Oath of Office, which provides training and resources for protecting your seat and voting your conscience in the face of party retribution.
Does your organization expect the candidates you endorse to remain loyal and accountable to their constituents?
What checks and balances do you have in place to assure they do? How do you know when they've become more accountable to big business, party politics, specials interests, etc. than to their own constituents?
If you would like to add TPC-certification to you endorsement process, reach out to The Oath Of Office to learn how to do so.
