Below is a table of candidates for federal office who have signed the Voters First Pledge and, according to press reports, who are likely to win their elections or who are in toss-up elections. Please let us know of any mistakes or suggested additions to this list. (I should note that we understand support for these policies extends beyond those who responded to the pledge. Public Campaign Action Fund reserves the right to remove comments that advocate election or defeat of named candidates.)

The Voters First Pledge asks candidates to commit to support legislation to make elections fair through Clean Elections-style public financing, enhance accountability through stricter lobbying and ethics guidelines, and the protect voters' right-to-know with better disclosure.

I've listed the candidates by alphabetically by district. In addition, several incumbent elected officials responded in thoughtful, positive letters supporting the concepts of the Voters First Pledge, but for a variety of reasons these members do not sign pledges. These incumbents are listed at the end of the table as supporters, but not signers.

As of 9:00 a.m., we are listing 82 signers and supporters who are very likely to serve in the next Congress, and 31 signers in toss-up races.

Supporters (all Democratic incumbents): Sam Farr (CA-17), Barney Frank (MA-04), Bart Stupak (MI-01), Maurice Hinchey (NY-22), and David Price (NC-04).
