Given that the goal of the RCDC is to facilitate the election of Democrats, it is also incumbent upon the Committee to remain impartial in the matter of Democratic primaries. In order to be fair to candidates, the following guidelines must be followed:

a) During primary election campaigns, members may engage in support for Democratic candidates. It shall be the affirmative responsibility of all RCDC officers to assure that it is clear that the support of individual members for candidates does not imply RCDC support.
b) There may not be canvassing for a primary candidate by the Committee as a whole.
c) Officers must notify a majority of the Executive Committee prior to becoming a part of campaign leadership.
d) Democratic office holders may not endorse non-Democrats for office.

If any of Parts b. or c. is violated by a member of the RCDC, then resignation from RCDC is required for the duration of the election cycle, and that member may be subject to processes outlined in Article IX: Violations of Ethical Conduct.
