ATLANTA (Sept. 28, 2022) — Governor Brian Kemp, Sen. Raphael Warnock, and gubernatorial candidates Stacey Abrams and Shane T. Hazel are the latest Georgia political candidates to sign on to the Candidate Principles for Trusted Elections.
The Candidate Principles initiative is a bipartisan effort supported by more than 60 organizations from across the political spectrum to encourage candidates, political parties, and voters to uphold five core doctrines of democratic elections: integrity, nonviolence, security, oversight, and the peaceful transfer of power.
“Georgia’s candidates are setting an example for the rest of the country,” said the Carter Center’s CEO, Paige Alexander. “We’re delighted that these candidates have declared their commitment to uphold the basic principles that underpin our democratic republic.”
Anyone — candidates, organizations, community leaders, and voters in any state — can pledge their support for the Candidate Principles at .
