Ballotpedia survey responses
See also: Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection
Gary Gerson completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Gerson's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Foster Care is going to be even more overburdened with the overturning of Roe v Wade. We have to take care of these kids.
- Gun safety keeps rising to the forefront. We have to be more thoughtful in keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous people.
- So many more, but education needs to be equal and equitable across the state, especially in more vulnerable areas.
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
