Eric has been following politics for many years, regularly writes our legislators, letters to the editor, and editorials for web news services. He realized at a young age as he began getting involved in city politics and their budgets that the 'power parties' were not concerned with the issues and the citizens, and that they were only in office for their own personal gain.

"I'm running for State Rep. because I'm tired. Tired of increasing taxes, tired of increasing government waste, tired of increasing frivolous government spending, tired of politicians getting in the way of people and industry, and tired of our legislators thinking they know what's best for us.
