Adopting a Values-Based Platform

For a Working Democracy doesn’t enforce adherence to a particular set of policies. Rather, we believe that candidates and officials should commit themselves to objective and verifiable standards of transparency and accountability, and behave in a way that reflects our core principles and values.

For a Working Democracy Leaders are those who:

• Want to be true public servants, leading in their communities as an act of service.
• Believe in choice and accountability in our electoral processes, and are willing to fight for reforms that will increase them (e.g., ranked-choice voting, independent redistricting commissions, term limits).
• Seek out opposing views and work towards shared ground.
• Commit to transparency during their time in office, through public disclosures of affiliations, conflicts of interest, and activities that might impact their decision-making.
• Regularly engage with their constituents to have conversations about how they can best serve them.
