No corporate money pledge

The Stackhouse for Governor campaign is fueled on sensible policy, grand vision, and volunteer passion.

We are not funded by big money or special interests as we refuse all campaign contributions from corporations, corporate-sponsored PACs, or from lobbyists on behalf of for-profit corporations as part of the No Corporate PAC pledge.

We consider this a basic commitment any elected public official should make as a matter of public trust and avoidance of all conflicts of interest whether actual or just in appearance.

I pledge to put Patients Over Profits

I am also a signee of the Patients Over Profits pledge which has been organized by National Nurses United - the largest nurses union in the United States. The pledge reads as follows:

CEOs and lobbyists for Big Pharma, corporate insurers, and private hospitals have formed a front group called Partnership for America’s Healthcare Future that wants to exploit our health care system to make money off of keeping us sick.

I pledge to put patients over profits and not take contributions over $200 from the executives, lobbyists, and PACs affiliated with the corporate health care industry, including private insurers, pharma corporations, and private hospitals who are organizing to take over our health care system.”

Patients Over Profits is a campaign designed to remove the influence of private health insurance, the pharmaceutical industry, and private hospitals from our political system.

No Big Tech Money Pledge

I pledge not to take contributions from Big Tech executives, lobbyists, and PACs and instead prioritize small businesses, families, and our democracy over the monopolies of Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft.

Taking the pledge means a political candidate’s campaign must not accept any contributions over $200 from the corporate Political Action Committees (PACs), named executives, or lobbyists of Apple, Alphabet (parent company of Google), Amazon, Meta (formerly Facebook), and Microsoft.

The No Big Tech Money pledge is born of the recognition that the "Big Five" tech giants are monopolies which exercise undue influence over our lives and political system.

Good Party Pledges

GoodParty.org is a nonprofit organization that specializes in providing affordable campaign services exclusively to candidates running outside of the two-party system. Andre is proud to have his campaign powered by their data, tech, and expertise and is committed to upholding their values. In order to partner, Andre signed the following pledge:

Independent

I am an independent, non-partisan, or third-party candidate. I am committed to the interests of the people above myself and partisan politics.

I am NOT running as a Republican or Democrat in a partisan election. I am committed to running and serving independent of the two-major parties. I will represent people from across the political spectrum and be dedicated to advancing the priorities of my constituents.
I pledge I will NOT pay membership dues to or otherwise engage in fundraising for either of the two major political party committees while in office, and will remain open to working with all sides to the benefit of my constituents.

People Powered

I will focus on solving the problems facing my community, not serving myself or special interests. I will disclose donors and ensure that most of my funding comes from real people, not from corporations, unions or other special interests.

I will run to serve people not political action committees and their special interests. I will run a grass-roots campaign that depend on being connected to and promoted by the people that I’ll be serving.
I pledge that the majority of financial support I receive will come from living people and individual donors, NOT from the big-money and special interests of corporations, unions, political action committees, or other non-living entities.

Anti-Corruption

I will be open, accountable and transparent about my positions and progress on issues. This means staying connected to, informed by, and responsive to my constituents using the best tools available.

When in office, I will pledge to serve with the highest levels of integrity and honesty and to report and disclose within 48 hours to appropriate authorities (constituents, law enforcement, etc.) any attempts to influence me unfairly.
I pledge that, if elected, I will always work to champion or support anti-corruption policies that enable more competition and choices in elections (e.g. RCV, Open Primaries, Final Five Voting, Gerrymandering reforms); and true transparency and accountability in government (e.g. anti dark money, lobbying revolving door).
I will advocate for ideas that focus on serving the people, planet, peace, and prosperity.
I agree to run a civil campaign focused on listening to citizens, learning about important issues and demonstrating my ability to serve, not mudslinging with my opponents.

I will abide by a minimum standard of civility and acknowledge that GoodParty.org maintains the right to withdraw its GoodParty.org Certified endorsement and remove me from the site if I actively engage in such conduct.
I agree to the GoodParty.org privacy policy and terms of service
I acknowledge GoodParty.org maintains the right to remove users from the platform and withdraw its GoodParty.org certification and endorsement if users engage in conduct that violates these terms of service.
