About Empire City Mayor

Councilmembers should devote their official time to problems of basic policy and act as liaisons between the city and the general public. Councilmembers should be concerned, not only with the conduct of daily affairs, but also with the future development of the city. The most important single responsibility of a council member is participation at council meetings. In statutory cities, each council member, including the mayor, has full authority to make and second motions, participate in discussions, and vote on every matter before the council. In a statutory city, any two councilmembers of a five-member council or any three members of a seven-member council may call a special meeting. Care should be exercised to give proper notice, however.

The GoodParty.org Pledge

We only work with candidates and elected officials who are independent of both major parties and the influence of big money. They can take any positions on issues for their constituents, as long as they pledge to be:

Heart

Independent

Candidates run and serve as nonpartisan, independent, or third-party candidates, not as Democrats or Republicans. They agree to not accept endorsements from either the Republican or Democratic party.

Users

People-First

Candidates get a majority of their funding from individuals, not from political action committees (PACs), lobbies, unions, or corporations. Once elected, they pledge to focus on solving the problems facing their constituents, not serving themselves or special interests.

Star

Anti-Corruption

Candidates and officials pledge to uphold the highest level of integrity by being open, transparent, and accountable about their donors, positions, and progress. They agree to only serve the people, and to use the best tools and data available to stay connected and responsive to their constituents.
