Friends and Constituents, 

It has been my great honor to serve the people of House District 51. Since being sworn in on January 10, 2024, I have worked to keep my promises to you. In my campaign of 2023, I said that we could not afford to negotiate away any more freedom. I urged you that Conservative Republicans must go on offense and warned that there is no more time for do-nothing politicians to continue doing nothing.  I promised that I would go on the offense and do something as your House of Delegates representative in Richmond.

​

During my first year in session, I went on the offense! Here are some of the bills I supported:

HB 404                A bill prohibiting tax funded abortions

HJ 86                    A resolution affirming the biological difference between the sexes

HB 1198              A bill to eliminate fees for concealed carry permit holders

HB 1230              A bill to allow trained school officials to have firearms on campus

HB 1176              A bill to make voter ID mandatory

HB 932                A bill to end a 45-day Election Season and reduce it to 14 

HB 1206              A bill to prohibit sexually explicit materials in libraries

HB 1180              A bill to create a tax credit for home educators

These bills reflect what you and I believe. We believe that life should be protected, that children should be safe from pornographic materials in school libraries, that our 2A rights should be protected, and that we need election reform in Virginia. With the Democrats in control, they are stopping us from comprehensively achieving our legislative goals, but this will not stop me from fighting!  We must win a majority in the Virginia House in 2025 and we MUST keep talking about these critical issues.  If we are silent, future generations will judge our silence. 

​

That is why I’m running to continue as your representative to the House of Delegates from the 51st District, representing Bedford, Campbell and Pittsylvania counties. In June of 2025 there will be a primary to select your Republican nominee for the House of Delegates.  

​

If you are happy with the direction of our state, I’m not your candidate. But if you’re looking for a Fighter, Not a Follower, to champion your values in Richmond and to fight back against those who would take your freedoms, I ask for your vote and support.
 

I am grateful for your prayers and support.

Eric
