This season invites each candidate and canvasser to reflect the values that strengthen our democracy and build up our communities. We encourage all involved in the electoral process to be virtuous, orderly, trustworthy, ethical, and sincere in their words and actions, as they seek the VOTES of our people. To be virtuous is to walk in integrity, allowing truth and righteousness to guide every promise that is put forward or every position taken. To be trustworthy is to speak truthfully and act honourably, for “it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy” (1 Corinthians 4:2). May this election season be peaceful, respectful, and marked by the kind of conduct that reflects the nation we hope to be.
