FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 31, 2023
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA -— We are excited to announce that Eric Sundberg, a dedicated advocate for working people, is officially launching his campaign for Delegate for Virginia’s 79th House District. With a deep commitment to serving the community and fighting for the working class, Eric is poised to bring real change to Richmond and empower the voices of everyday Virginians.
As a former Chief of Staff for a General Assembly member, Eric possesses firsthand knowledge of the political landscape and the challenges faced by working-class families. Growing up during the 2008 housing recession, he witnessed the devastating impact it had on Americans and experienced the economic crunch of inflation. Eric understands the struggles faced by families as the dollar loses its value year after year.
Having personally dealt with the loss of health insurance and the inability to find a job with adequate health benefits, Eric deeply understands how critical universal healthcare is for working people. A medical emergency that resulted in substantial medical debt reaffirmed his commitment to bringing comprehensive, single-payer healthcare coverage to all Virginians. He also knows corporate donors persuade both parties to kill popular and life-saving legislation, such as Medicare for All. That’s why he’s taking a stand against the corporate stranglehold over Virginia’s government.
With a track record of grassroots organizing and a firm belief in the power of collective action, Eric is ready to tackle the systemic challenges facing House District 79. He has seen firsthand how both Democrats and Republicans often prioritize corporate interests over the needs of the working class. Eric aims to change that by bringing integrity, transparency, and government accountability to the forefront of his campaign.
Eric's platform is centered around critical issues such as Medicare for All, Housing for All, a minimum wage tied to the cost-of-living, protecting tenants from legal exploitation, progressive tax reform, supporting workers' right to unionize, and delivering real material change to Virginians. By advocating for these policies, he envisions a Virginia where everyone has access to quality healthcare, affordable housing, fair wages, and a brighter future for all.
This campaign is about building a Commonwealth that serves the interests of the people and prioritizes the needs of the working class. Eric Sundberg's candidacy represents a fresh voice, untethered by corporate influence, and dedicated to delivering real change for everyday Virginians.
Eric Sundberg has filed to be on the ballot for the General Election on November 7, 2023.
