Electing true public servants

Pledge. Win. Serve. Go Home.

Us backs Californians who run for office, govern, and step aside. Every candidate we support has signed the Pledge for a New Public Service.

The Pledge for a New Public Service

Candidates take the pledge

One simple sentence ensures that an endorsed candidate will work for the people they represent, not for themselves or their donors.

For candidates: Take the pledge

After 10 years in elected office, I will never run again.

Candidates run their own race

Us is an independent political organization. We do not tell candidates what to think or how to run. We only ask that they commit to stepping aside.

All we ask

  • Sign the Pledge
  • Keep your promise

What we never touch

  • Your platform
  • Your strategy
  • Your campaign
A democratic endorsement process

Candidates apply for endorsement

Every dues-paying member has an equal say in deciding which pledged candidates we endorse. No one pulls the strings.
