Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Healthcare is a human right.
• Wages for lower and middle income people have stagnated for too long.
• The quality of public education should not depend on your zip code, and public colleges and trade schools should be debt-free options for all.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I will fight to bring access to quality healthcare for all, to restore the dignity of work by increasing wages, and to ensure access to high-quality public education and debt-free public colleges and trade schools for all.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

The greatest challenge to the United States is removing the corrupting influence of money from politics. To do his part, Eric is rejecting all contributions from corporations and lobbyists and will fight for campaign finance reform while in Congress.
