Come out to support democracy for all and to stand against Christian nationalism & insurrections. Hear from speakers, musicians, and local candidates. Engage in specific ways to support democracy on the ballot in 2024.
Our campaign is thrilled to be endorsed by Vote Common Good, a national voter-outreach organization that targets white Evangelical and white Catholic voters, urging them to resist the reflexive urge to support Trumpism, Christian Nationalism, and Republicans. Common Good also does candidate engagement, including training, messaging coaching, and support.
Candidates for Common Good have committed themselves to leading with values consistent with using the common good as a guiding principle in how they govern, what policies they advocate, and the ways in which they interact with both voters and other candidates for office.
It’s not about agreeing on policy solutions. It’s an agreement on a shared value of putting the needs of people first.
Candidates for Common Good have taken the Vote Common Good Love-In-Politics Pledge:
THE LOVE-IN-POLITICS PLEDGE
The Love-in-Politics Pledge calls faith-full voters to support candidates who pledge to comport themselves in their public and political lives in ways of love consistent with 1 Corinthians 13.
As people of faith, we do not seek to elect only those who believe as we do. We believe that our faith calls us to advocate for the common good for all.
For that reason, we will elect leaders who commit to an ethic of love in their public and political lives.
We believe God is love—1 John 4:8 says, “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” And, we believe love is manifest in ways that are consistent with the description of love in 1 Corinthians 13.
To this end we are calling on all of our elected leaders to lead in the way of love.
Therefore, we make these four commitments:
I will call on all elected leaders to comport themselves in ways consistent with love in their public and political lives.
I will support elected leaders who do so.
I will stand up to and call for a change from elected leaders who violate the virtues of love.
I will call on elected officials to demand other public officials comport themselves in ways consistent with love.
Multiple candidates in a race can receive this recognition, and just like the common good, it is non-partisan. Explore your candidates for the common good at votecommongood.com.
Of our campaign for State Senate District 56, Common Good chose to quote something I said in our original interview:
I’m led by the Stoic concept of Summum Bonum—the highest good—and want to bring this to the people of my State Senate district by committing to talking to, listening to, and working for everyone, not just those ideologically aligned with my party affiliation.
To see this through, I want to see the state legislature adopt a proactive constituent-experience platform to facilitate communication and transparency and to help voters hold their representative accountable.
