Dear Members and Friends,
Integrity is a top issue facing Jefferson Parish voters. See how Justice of the Peace and Constable candidates in Jefferson Parish score on integrity when it comes to financial disclosures and campaign finance reports. Then ask the candidates to pledge to Join the Campaign for Judicial Integrity in Louisiana.
We based the candidates’ integrity scores on these three principles:
1. Campaign Contributions Issued
2. Campaign Contributions Received
3. Financial Disclosure Statements.

METHODOLOGY
Candidates are graded on the number of critical issues for anti-corruption listed in the candidate scorecard, as divided into three overarching principles. We believe all of these issues are crucial to unrigging our broken system.
We assigned a total possible score of 5 for each principle. For the sake of consistency, we treat individual issues equally: calculating fewer of these critical issues gets candidates a higher score—and only when they score 15 for the whole package do they get 100 percent.
We compiled candidate information from their campaign websites, in interviews, or from public and private resources.
Campaigns are dynamic. We welcome your feedback—if you see a candidate’s position has changed, send us an email at info@motiontoquash.org with the new information.
