Ethics and Standards

Issues

Public officials must be honest, have personal integrity and high moral standards and be accountable to the electorate. We will work
to prevent undue influence by the power and money of special interest groups. Members of legislative bodies must be accountable to
the same laws and code of ethics imposed on others. Legislators should not grant themselves special privileges. While we expect all
Republican Candidates to support the principles in this Platform, we recognize honest disagreement may exist in some areas. We call
on all candidates to state their position on important issues clearly so voters can compare them with their party’s platform.
