Fair Campaign Pledge*- AGAIN! 

This is a nonpartisan race. As a candidate running for re-election as Mayor of Atlantic Beach, I believe that the issues in the campaign should be openly and fully addressed in a fair, civil, professional and productive manner. Negative campaign practices cause community divisions and divert the attention of the community to matters other than the important issues affecting the future of our community and families. To this end, I once again make this voluntary pledge to run a positive and professional campaign consistent with my vision for Atlantic Beach, even though applicable laws and regulations do not require that I do so.   

Accordingly, I, Ellen Glasser, hereby voluntarily pledge to abide by the following ten principles throughout this campaign:

  1. I shall endeavor to run a positive campaign focusing on the issues important to our community as well as emphasizing my suitability and qualifications for the office.   

  2. I shall at all times conduct myself professionally and in a manner endeavoring to set a positive example for our community.  

  3. I shall not make statements that falsify, distort, or misrepresent facts, or approve the use such statements in campaign materials.

  4. I shall limit any criticism of my opponent(s) to legitimate challenges of his/her record, suitability, qualifications, statements, and positions.

  5. I shall not publish, display, or circulate anonymous campaign literature or advertising, nor tolerate my supporters doing so.

  6. I shall request that my campaign supporters not interfere with the display of campaign signs or the distribution of campaign literature in support of my opponent(s).  

  7. I shall not use or condone the use of any form of bigotry or prejudice in the campaign, especially when based on race, gender, age, religion, national origin, or disability.

  8. I shall not use or permit the use of malicious untruths or innuendos about the personal life or family members of my opponent(s).

  9. I shall not make or condone any unfounded accusations that discredit the credibility of my opponent(s).

  10. I shall strongly discourage any third party from attacking my opponent(s) with any information or materials inconsistent with the personal standards I have pledged above.

* This is the same pledge I made when running for Mayor in 2017 and 2020.
