About Susan
Susan Gaztanaga has been a resident of Baltimore, Maryland since 1984. She has been a leader in the Baltimore area Libertarian Party since 1992, serving as Treasurer, Secretary, and Chair at various times. While working full time as an Administrative Coordinator for an institution of higher learning, she serves, on a volunteer basis, as church secretary, teacher of a weekly children.s Bible club, newsletter editor for the local alumnae chapter of an international music fraternity, and secretary on the Board of Directors of a non profit environmental organization.
A Gaztañaga administration will be a transparent administration in which citizens will know exactly where their tax dollars are going. The double burden of excessive taxation and intrusive regulation is keeping the neediest citizens of Maryland from starting businesses, creating jobs, and building a thriving economy. If the State government sticks to its basic responsibility of providing a safe, secure environment in which people can conduct their business, maintaining our infrastructure of roads, bridges and tunnels, and providing an emergency response system, I am confident that Marylanders will be able to feed, clothe, house, educate and care for themselves and their loved ones. As a symbolic first step in restoring the tradition of true public service, I will reinvest $90,000 of the Governor’s $150,000 yearly salary every year towards reducing the State debt. – Susan Gaztañaga
