In
2002, Al Shugart decided to run for Congress in the 17th District in
California.
Dismayed by how
dysfunctional our government had become, Al became a qualified
candidate for the No Political Party. "It’s time again to
protest," he said, "We have to elect an independent who
accepts no campaign contributions." To this end, candidate
Shugart pledged not to accept any campaign contributions. Al laid out a three
point plan he intended to put into place should he be elected to
office. Shugart proposed to 1) Determine what a Congressman does; 2)
How a Congressman does it; 3) Report back his findings. Al also made one firm campaign
promise. He promised that before he voted on anything, he'd read it
first.
