What an incredible crew we had today helping us reach over 1,000 voters! Thank you to everyone who came out to spread awareness about our campaign for this crucial election in November. Shoutout to @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and @jenniferjenkins.bsky.social together we’re going to flip HD35 and CD8!
We’re out talking to neighbors, spreading the word about our campaigns, and meeting voters right at their front doors. Very grateful to join @jenniferjenkins.bsky.social and @maxwellfrost.bsky.social today as we scour the area with 50+ volunteers all across the district. Let’s go win in November!
We coordinated today to knock doors all throughout Laureate Park in Lake Nona! Honored to partner with the Orange County Dems and Gloria Reina O’Neal to help spread the word about the upcoming elections! Special shoutout to Rep. Rita Harris and former Sen. Victor Torres for joining us this morning!
“Eric has a vision for Florida aimed at fighting for real solutions like affordable housing, smarter growth, and compassionate policies that put people first. He supports reproductive rights and is a champion of our most marginalized citizens who deserve a voice in Tallahassee.” - Florida NOW PAC
Spent some time enjoying our amazing small businesses here in District 35 today. Thank you to our team who's helping our campaign be coordinated and effective in our mission to deliver better leadership for district 35!
At a time when families are struggling to afford rent, groceries, and basic necessities, Representative Booth decided that protecting the partisan advantage was more important than protecting her constituents. This is partisan politics at its worst. #floridaredistricting #gerrymandering
I’m grateful to announce Moms Demand Action has recognized our campaign. In Tallahassee I plan on working closely with advocates personally affected by senseless violence to bring gun-sense reform to our communities.
This weekend was great! It’s vital we turn out for Melissa Marantes and Johanna Lopez on August 18th, to make sure we’re represented by candidates we can trust.
Happy to share that @jj-holmes.bsky.social has decided to endorse our campaign. “I’m a disability advocate, so I know a bit about persistence…” When lawmakers chose to fund toll relief instead of help people waiting on disability assistance, he spoke up.
The campaign had a busy day yesterday! I got to start my day at the Orange County mayoral forum. Then I met up with @maxwellfrost.bsky.social to speak to voters. I ended the day by meeting Avalon residents at Absolutely Avalon.
Seen a few weeks ago at our house in #LakeNona, #Florida:
Affordability isn’t a left vs. right issue, it’s a top vs. bottom one. The lawmakers in power are happy letting the people with billions spend their way to victory, but I’m not. We’ll continue to lose Tallahassee to the billionaire class if we don’t speak up when it matters.
I worked on bringing affordable housing to Orange County for 8 years. Legislators in Tallahassee blocked it with SB 180. Effectively nullifying the ability to build new housing. There’s never been a more important time in history for housing. It’s time we speak up. #affordablehousing
We spent this weekend knocking doors. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social's team joined us in talking to our future constituents. This campaign is built by the people I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with. No data can ever replace a real conversation. Join us next Saturday!
Thank you Commissioner Nicole Wilson for your endorsement. Your work shows what’s possible when actionable leaders are in charge, they deliver real results. I look forward to working with you to move Central Florida towards a brighter future.
We’ve lost our law-makers to special interests and the billionaire class. Right now, our government is up in flames. Fire rescue may be on the way, but someone needs to step up and run inside with a bucket of water till then. That building is the state capital and I’m compelled to try to help.
I fully support interfaith collaboration on key issues like homelessness, poverty, and social justice, recognizing that faith-based organizations are vital in addressing these challenges.
Affordability isn’t a left vs. right issue, it’s a top vs. bottom one. The lawmakers in power are happy letting the people with billions spend their way to victory, but I’m not. We’ll continue to lose Tallahassee to the billionaire class if we don’t speak up when it matters.
We need to end corporate influence over policy. I’ll continue to fight for the will of the people over the will of corporations during this campaign and after we win in November. #corporationsarenotpeople
Thank you to Paul and Eric for hosting such an amazing event last night in Lake Nona to support our campaign. Also thank you to our special guest @keenforfl.bsky.social for joining us. Commissioner Keen knows what it takes to flip this seat and that’s exactly what we’re going to do in November.
Melissa has spent 30+ years fighting for justice and defending people’s rights in court. Her decades of dedicated advocacy continues to inspire me. Thank you for your trust in me and your support of our campaign.
My work as an advocate for the unhoused has shown me the harsh realities some families face every day. I’m working to make sure that every Floridian has a roof over their head and the basic necessities they need to live. #affordablehousing
We’ve been out knocking doors all weekend! Thankful for Congressman Frost’s team for joining us today. We’ve had great conversations with future constituents all across District 35. Head to Ericgrayforflorida.com to join us next time! @maxwellfrost.bsky.social
Affordability is at the heart of this campaign because I have seen leaders neglect the underlying issues that make it almost impossible to keep them accountable. Keeping track of how we’re providing for our citizens and their needs will be a top priority for me in Tallahassee. #affordability
Our lawmakers in Tallahassee must vote in the interest of their constituents. Not for their re-election or their corporate donors.
This campaign is fueled by love. My love for my family, faith, neighbors, and community keeps me going. This fight isn’t easy, but it is worth it. Because every one of us deserves to live with dignity and love. Happy Valentine’s Day! -Eric
Affordability isn’t just a buzzword, it’s everything around us. If we want actual change in our daily lives, we’ll need to deliver it ourselves. #affordability #housing #florida #vote #wastefraudabuse
We had an incredible canvass launch this morning, spreading the word about our campaign and engaging with voters at their front doors. Thank you so much to all our amazing volunteers who braved the (Florida) cold this morning to help us get our message out. We’re working hard everyday to flip HD35!
Early moments matter. Your support today helps prove this campaign belongs to the people, not special interests. Support us at ericgrayforflorida.com
