Question one
WILL YOU COMMIT TO NEW LEADERSHIP?
Not someday. Not after the caucus vote. Now, while voters can still hear the answer.
Accountability
REPLACE THE LEADERSHIP
Democratic voters need leaders who will fight in public, use power when they have it, and stop treating donor comfort like the highest law in politics.
One public question. One public record.
The premise
THE DODGE IS THE DATA
A party that cannot replace failed leadership cannot deliver public competition, rebuild capacity, hold corporate power accountable, or defend democracy with a straight face.
This page does one job: put candidates and incumbents on the record. A yes tells voters something. A refusal tells voters something too.
The test
ASK THEM WHERE VOTERS CAN HEAR IT
Question two
WILL YOU SAY IT IN PUBLIC?
Private courage does not help voters. If the leadership is failing in private, say it where people can see it.
Question three
WILL YOU USE POWER DIFFERENTLY?
Replacing a nameplate is not enough. The test is whether the next leadership will fight for the things voters already want.

How this becomes power
TURN ANSWERS INTO PRESSURE
The tracker is not a scoreboard for entertainment. It is a targeting system for voters, donors, organizers, and journalists.
01
Ask the question
Town halls, candidate forums, interviews, call-in shows, and public events all count. Make the question simple.
02
Record the answer
A clear yes matters. A dodge matters too. The public record is the point.
03
Move the record
Send clips, links, transcripts, and local coverage. We update the tracker when the evidence is solid.
04
Fund the pressure
When a race matters, the work becomes research, ads, mail, radio, billboards, and district-specific digital pressure.
On the record
WHO IS STANDING UP?
This list is deliberately narrow. We only show the people where the public record is strong enough to defend.
9 so far. Many more have not been asked yet.
