Take the Death Penalty Action Election Pledge: Death Penalty Action is asking every candidate for president to articulate their position on the federal and military death penalty during the campaign.

Starting with the first Republican Presidential candidate debate on August 23rd in Milwaukee, Death Penalty Action is providing this web page to catalog and monitor candidates positions on the federal and military death penalty. We will also seek to ensure at least one question requiring thoughtful responses related to the death penalty and related criminal justice matters is posed by the debate moderator in each debate. As the campaign progresses, we will provide assessments and further questions for each candidates' consideration and post their responses.

The project is non-partisan and will continue until the election is complete in November, 2024. Death Penalty Action does not endorse or oppose candidates for political office. This is for informational purposes only.

This page is in development as of August 23 and will be updated regularly.

A "*" indicates that a candidate has signed the pledge.
