New Hampshire: Clean Campaign Pledge

State Sen. Ted Gatsas (R-Manchester) has proposed a "Clean Campaign Pledge" to his challenger Bob Backus (D-Manchester), which Backus calls a "gimmick."

The pledge would have the candidates agree to denounce third party activity, agree not to personally attack one another, have the candidates follow "an exemplary code of conduct" and force the candidates to have third parties honor the pledge.
