Protect Our Future: For Our Kids, Our Land, and the Next Generation
Some fights aren't about today's paycheck — they're about what we leave behind. A government that lives within its means. Water that doesn't run out. Family farms that survive. Kids who grow up safe. Eric is running to protect the things that make this district worth fighting for, and to make sure Washington stops mortgaging our children's future.
The Problem: Career Politicians Grow Out of Touch
Our government is full of elderly career politicians who
Have spent more of their life in politics than out of it
Haven’t had a real job — at least not in decades
Don’t remember what it’s like to worry about putting food on the table or to take care of young children
Stopped caring about the future because they don’t see themselves in it
Act out of self-preservation to maintain their power and identity
The result is a group of cozy, power-hungry career politicians conspire to protect their seats, benefit the corporations that fund their campaigns, and enjoy a comfortable life in Washington — all while their constituents suffer.
Eric’s Plan to End Corruption
Live Within Our Means
Balanced budget amendment in both Sacramento and Washington
A new hard rule: every new program comes with a way to pay for it
No more borrowing against our kids' future.
We fund our priorities by ending corporate tax dodging and cutting waste, not by running up the debt.
No Blank Checks for War
No U.S. weapons or financial aid for nations on the attack
No military aid to any country without an up-or-down vote in Congress — no backroom deals, no endless commitments
Restore Congress's constitutional war powers: no new wars without a congressional vote
All aid comes with conditions — we will be leaders and true friends to our allies, holding them accountable and propagating a better world
If we want to restore America’s position as a global leader and moral authority, we must use our hard and soft power. We must use our position to end unnecessary war, death, and suffering. We must lead, not wage and fund bombing campaigns.
A good friend — and a good ally — is someone who tells you when you’re wrong and holds you accountable.
Secure Our Water
Water is survival in an agricultural district.
Invest in California's water infrastructure now — storage, delivery, and drought resilience — before the next crisis, not after
Secure funding for the major water projects in CA-4 — Sites Reservoir,
Protect Our Land and Family Farms
Our planet and our family farms define this country — and this beautiful district.
Conserve our public lands for the next generation — nature protected so our children get to enjoy, roam, and discover all its beauty and all it has to offer
Stand up for family farms with the support they need to survive against corporate consolidation — the backbone of Colusa, Placer, Sonoma, Sutter, Yuba, and Yolo counties
Make Big Tech Build Responsibly
New technologies have the potential to help humanity — and to threaten it. As we fight corruption, lower costs, and protect our land, we must hold Big Tech accountable, act quickly, and empower leaders who actually understand the technology.
No new data centers unless they generate their own clean power on-site and protect our water — they shouldn't drain our grid and drive up your bills
Make Big Tech pay its fair share
Set real privacy and accountability standards before the technology outruns us
Protect your data — and give you ownership of it
Keep Our Kids Safe Online
Keep kids off addictive social media until 16
Prevent the manipulation of minors from AI products, ensuring they aren’t designed to target minors — and get them hooked on their products
Protect our children from online predators
Invest in community, in-person interaction, third spaces, the arts, and mental health resources
