A working community that deserves a working-class senator
El Mirage is a city of working families, commuters and neighbors who keep the West Valley running, a short drive from Luke Air Force Base. Eric has spent a decade in blue-collar jobs, in machine shops, airport hangars, veterinary clinics and service work, and he knows what it is like when 40 hours a week isn't enough to pay the bills.
In the Senate, Eric will fight for living wages, stronger workplace safety enforcement, an end to wage theft, and real heat protections for people who work outdoors through Arizona summers.
Schools that get the funding they need
Families in El Mirage and Surprise are served by the Dysart Unified School District. Arizona's school funding has lagged the nation for years. Eric supports competitive teacher pay, more money for school buildings and resources, audits of voucher spending, and expanded vocational and apprenticeship programs for students of every age.
What Eric will fight for in El Mirage
- Living wages and protection from wage theft
- Extreme-heat protections for outdoor workers
- Competitive teacher pay and full funding for public schools
- Affordable housing and protection from unfair evictions
- Better West Valley transit and shaded, walkable streets
