Gary Schuman completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Schuman's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
Collapse all
|- I accept no Pac; no superpac, no dark money, no donations at all. We need campaign finance reform, and I am the only person running in the 3rd Congressional District in Maryland who does not accept donations, and who is not attempting to buy your vote. I am the only person running for the 435 seats in the House and 34 in the Senate, who accepts no money. I also will not spend my own money. Gary Schuman Walks The Walk, while the others Talk the Talk! Additionally we must eliminate the Electoral College. This guarantees the rule of one person, one vote. No more majority winners in reality, yet minority presidents in office. Moreover, this will streamline primaries, eliminating big corporate involvement in elections.
- We must bridge the divide. We need to end "tribal politics" NOW! I am the guy to accomplish this. I have the energy, the wit and the personality to captivate and charm both sides of the aisle. My refusal to accept PAC money or any donations earns me respect from all sides of the many issues. I have done the research to back up my ideas and I have examined funding for the programs. There are either zero costs, or actual reductions in costs of programs I will replace.Liberals want my vision and conservatives like my math. Both sides trust me. My plan for more professional police on the southern border will assure safety for everyone without turning away immigrants. Immigrants we need as much or more than they need us.
- One of the most important jobs of a Congressman is constituent services. I plan to keep my congressional office round the clock; 24/7. There are people who need me and my staff all hours of the day and night. One of us will answer the phones live! There are things that can be done to help people navigate the red tape and bureaucracy at any hour. We will give resources, send faxes and emails and open files. I believe this will become the standard, as the rest of the two houses of Congress will follow my lead. We must raise the minimum wage to $15.00 an hour, to be effective immediately. The bill must include guarantee annual raises equal to CPI, and said raises for fixed income elderly persons also.
Dad retired in his 60's and painted charcoals and oils. I remember in the supermarket he would make the window signs for "sales and specials. He could freehand draw straight lines that I could not accomplish with 2 rulers and a protractor. He was the 5th of 6 kids; 3 boys and 3 girls. His older brothers and sisters were married starting families. When his Dad passed, he left school to support his mother and little sister. He later joined the army in World War 2, returned safe, married and built successful small businesses. He was always pro union, supportive of his staff and gave stellar customer service. He worked 11 hour days, commuted over an hour, 6 days a week. He basically sacrificed his entire life for his family; first his mom, then his wife and son. He gave up his youth, his education, he enlisted and more. Only after he retired I realized he had the gift and desire for creating art.
My mom was an extraordinarily gorgeous young woman; model and movie star quality. She wanted to act and gave it up to be a wife and mom. After I graduated high school Mom went into the glamorous garment industry. She sparkled from being part of the fashion world.
We must House the Homeless; Feed the hungry, Care for the sick, Engage the elderly, Embrace the different among us and Welcome the stranger. I have programs for all that I mentioned, including price tags of Zero for most. We need to fundamentally and philosophically re-learn what is to be the United States of America. We must end tribal politics. We must have drastic campaign finance reform, Eliminate all big money, Pacs, Superpacs, corporate influence. We must eliminate the electoral college. If we do not address these foundational dynamics, nothing substantial will ever be accomplished.
The passenger screams: "Hey, it's a red light". The driver says, "don't worry, my brother drives this way and he taught me everything I know". He comes to another red light, and again flies right through it. The passenger says:"Hey, again! Another red light.". The driver says: "I told you My brother taught me how to drive and he always drives this way". The driver comes to a green light and slams on his brakes, the passenger spills the coffee he was trying to sip all over his tie and shirt, and screams:"What are you doing? It's a green light." The driver says:" My brother might be coming the other way".
