Earn the Endorsement. Join the Network. Lead with Integrity.
If you're a candidate or elected official who believes public service is a sacred trust—not a partisan weapon—then The Oath of Office is here to back you.
We don’t endorse lightly. An Oath of Office endorsement is more than a badge of alignment with democratic values—it’s a commitment to a new political standard grounded in transparency, accountability, and direct service to the people.
To be endorsed by The Oath of Office, a candidate or politician must:
Swear to uphold the Politician’s Creed, a seven-part declaration affirming their responsibility to constituents and the ethical standards of public office.
Be currently in office or running within the next 18 months.
Lead a relational organizing group within their district—activating supporters, building trust, and growing civic strength from the inside out.
Pass a qualifications interview to ensure alignment of values and readiness to operate within the LoD network.
An Oath of Office endorsement unlocks strategic, logistical, and relational support built to sustain real, long-term change. This includes:
The ability to work with an experienced and trained campaign manager* who can help you navigate the political landscape with strategy, discipline, and purpose.
Campaign-in-a-box kit: Messaging frameworks and tools, print/digital templates, voter education content, and more—ready to use and customized to your district.
Access to The Network, our hybrid organizing and membership infrastructure that supports outreach, relational growth, and volunteer mobilization.
Socket integration with aligned organizations, amplifying your reach and plugging your campaign into national efforts without compromising your local voice.
Ongoing guidance from LoD’s strategic advisors and task forces—built for recall, conversion, and community-based accountability initiatives.
Visibility on The Oath of Office's endorsements page - this is the page that people will go to to see if their candidate is following the Politician's Creed.
A registered version of the Politician's Creed badge, which comes in pure gold, or with either a red or blue background. This badge goes in the top-right of your endorsement picture, as well as a form that you can place on your website's endorsements page.
* Campaign managers working with Laboratories of Democracy and The Oath of Office are part of a coordinated network of campaign advisors working together to support and advance candidates who are sworn to and abide by the Politician's Creed.
Endorsement by The Oath of Office isn't about party affiliation—it's about principled leadership. We endorse candidates across the spectrum who are willing to put their constituents first, stand firm in their convictions, and help restore the foundational trust between the governed and those who govern.
If you’re ready to lead with courage—and you're done playing by rules designed to keep conscience out of politics—we want to work with you.
