Veterans are a pillar of Pinellas County, and Eric is proud to work as a Veteran advocate – helping solve issues of veteran homelessness and supporting veterans in closing on their own homes. In Congress, Eric will support legislation that allows the VA to work with specified entities, such as non-profits and tribal organizations, to provide more housing for veterans experiencing homlessness or at risk of homelessness.
Eric also knows we need to expand the number of registered apprenticeship programs that provide trade training for veterans upon leaving the service. Veterans deserve to find good paying jobs after service and to save their GI benefits for the future.
Pinellas County is home to so many veterans and their families, and Eric is deeply grateful for their service. His personal experience working with our troops and military makes every story of struggle he hears from our veterans hit that much closer to home. In Congress, Eric will be a fearless advocate for our veterans, working to ensure that those who served get the support they deserve.
