WE'RE GETTING ROBBED
Healthcare costs are up.
Your BGE bill just went up again.
Housing is more expensive than ever.
Corporations raise the cost of living because they want more profit.
Then their money buys the political process.
And that's why nothing changes.
Communities don't have a voice anymore.
What if we all pushed back together?

I'm here to do one thing. Bring people together around what we need to live.
Housing, Healthcare, Energy, Food
I'm running independent because we can't keep doing things the same way.
We are all frustrated about the same thing.
Cost of Living.
But we're pushing back on our own.
One Voice Gets Ignored
THOUSANDS DON'T
Prices come down when we push back together.
We don’t just pass laws. We build leverage.
What if 20,000 residents organized around housing costs and pushed back together on rising taxes and fees, or rent?
It's already being built. The Homeowners Alliance. Join the County Connection Hub to be a part of it.
Or if 50,000 of us pushed back at the same time on utility rates instead of dealing with BGE as individual complaints. This is happening too. Entire communities fighting back together.
We could expand access to affordable healthcare so you could go directly to a provider without paying for layers of overhead.
That’s how we do better.
Not just with policy but by making sure people actually have the power to shape it.
Most candidates stop at policy.
I go one step further.
I make sure:
The system actually works.
The projects actually get delivered.
And the community is organized enough to have a real voice in the outcome.
I'm not even waiting to get elected. We're already building this.
Join the County Connection Hub.
Find others dealing with the same issues.

About Me
I'm Cory Shaffer
Independent for Baltimore County Council District 5.
I'm running as someone who lives here.
As a Husband and Dad.
As a business owner.

I believe when people can afford the things they need to live.
They have security.
They aren't so divided.
People are able to live up to their fullest potential.
But first i need your help getting on the ballot
We can build this together.
I am running independent. I need all the help I can get to get on the ballot, spread the word, and get signatures.
Whatever you can do, it will make an impact.
We can't bring down the cost of living unless you step up.
We have teams formed. We are ready to go.
We just need you.

Why I'm Running
For the last ten years I've been running a mental health and addiction clinic starting in Randallstown and moving to Owings Mills.
I saw the opioid crisis and wanted to step up and do something about it. I don't just talk about change. I try to help build it.
I started that clinic because I understood leadership is service. And when people's needs are met, they have control over their lives again.
That's real power.
That the point of my campaign.
If we can organize around what we all need to live...
We take back control over our lives again.
