Statement

You are not alone.

You are not forgotten.

We live in a state of chaos. Moving from one crisis to the next. Politicians pointing fingers and spewing lies while political insiders get richer. We’re constantly lied to, blamed, and gaslighted by people in D.C. and taken for granted at home.

I’m the only America First candidate in this race and like President Trump, I’m not a politician or a political insider. I’m a frustrated American who loves his country, family, and community and I believe We Deserve Better.

I will fight against the radical Left and the weak establishment Right to Save Our Children from radicalization, sexualization, and indoctrination and return power to parents with school and curricula choice; Protect Our Nation by stopping the invasion at our southern border, finishing the wall, and funding/supporting BPS and ICE; Secure Our Elections by prosecuting voter fraud, implementing Voter ID, and fighting for in-person elections with paper ballots; Fix Our Economy by stopping out of control spending, slashing regulations and bureaucracy, and returning America to energy independence; Restore Our Freedom by ending Big Tech censorship, the weaponization of the administrative state, and the assault on the 2nd Amendment; Regain Our Trust by holding people accountable for COVID-19, the Russia-collusion hoax, and the Afghanistan-withdrawal disaster.

Extraordinary times require new leaders, with new ideas and new perspectives. We can’t save our country by electing the same politicians and wannabe insiders who only care about gaining power and wealth for themselves. And we can’t win this election by moving to the middle or being on our heels. The rules have changed and the stakes are just too high. Together, we will take back our divinely inspired country. It’s time to fight. It’s time to win.

Statement

It is my honor to represent Washington’s 10th Congressional District. My team and I work hard every day for a nation that is more safe, more just, and more secure for all people. To date, we’ve recovered more than $5 million in Social Security, veterans benefits, and tax refunds for district residents and will continue to advocate for you so the government fulfills its responsibility to serve you.

Raised in a South Sound military family, I’m proud to be the first African American and Korean American member of our delegation. Challenging times require proven leadership, and I work to deliver for our community. I’ve voted to lower prescription drugs costs, cap insulin costs at $35 per month, end surprise medical bills, invest in apprenticeships, hold oil companies accountable for price gouging, support our active duty military families and veterans, protect women’s reproductive freedom, and advance commonsense gun safety laws.

Since being sworn in January 2021, I’ve worked with both parties to create jobs and bring billions of dollars to fix our roads and bridges, improve internet access, provide clean water, expand transit and electric vehicle charging stations, and provide direct relief to families and small businesses most impacted by the pandemic. I will continue to fight for voting rights, investments in education, expanded access to health care, and affordable housing. I will protect Social Security so people can retire with dignity, and will continue to advocate for more funding to protect and restore Puget Sound.

I’m proud to be endorsed by the Washington State Labor Council, the Sierra Club, the Alliance for Gun Responsibility, and respected leaders in business, local government, and the human services, education and faith communities. I humbly ask for your vote, and the opportunity to continue representing you as the South Sound’s voice in Congress.

Statement

We were promised we would be led from the crisis of $2 gas and low unemployment. Wages would increase and families would thrive. It was Reagan who asked, “Are you better off than you were two years ago?” I think not. If you’re not a oligarch or elected/ appointed official it has been pretty much down hill and we’re gaining speed and momentum.

This has been my two years: DEI, ESG, CRT, WHO, WEF, FED, Great Reset, Build Back Better, digital currency, Blackrock, Green New Deal, lockdown and more. Not much good.

Leading to crises in Energy availability, Food availability, Housing availability, Worthless currency. All gifts from our Congress, e.g., $40 billion for Ukraine.Exacerbated by profligate spending, jailbreak style illegal immigration, regulation overload and Central Government overreach.

I am overcome by the bile. I know they say you must present a positive picture but I’m not seeing it. I’m old and life has been good. I don’t want to leave this mess for my progeny.

I will work to cut, cut, cut the budget. Pause all immigration and deport those in the country illegally. Campaign to eliminate some cabinet departments, e.g., EPA, Education and Energy. I would encourage states to take control of their land and develop resources, especially energy and promote food production. We would have Mt Rushmore State Park in S.D. and Grand Canyon State Park in Arizona.

Give me a chance. If I can’t improve the country I’ll certainly give you something to laugh about. I’ll be in the district when not in session. I have grass to cut. I will donate $10,000 salary each month to charity.

Statement

If you’re like me, you’ve watched in frustration as our elected leaders presided over the largest crime increases in decades, economic inflation, higher gas, food and housing prices, food and baby formula shortages, and a retreat from Afghanistan so disorganized and humiliating it immediately emboldened our enemies, negatively impacting our national security and standing worldwide.

The good news is I’ll help put the brakes on inflationary government spending, lowering the cost of everyday products Americans need while also streamlining critical supply chain infrastructure and regulations, delivering goods and energy at lower prices.

We can increase public safety by keeping violent offenders in jail, and prevent human trafficking and deadly opiates from destroying our communities by securing the border. I’ll oppose government overreach and defend civil liberties enshrined in the Bill of Rights. As a proud veteran, I know we must hold Pentagon and V.A. leadership accountable to honor our obligations and secure our nation.

According to an independent analysis by ProPublica, Marilyn Strickland votes 100% percent of the time with Nancy Pelosi on major votes. That’s unacceptable. Most people agree poor leadership in Congress is eroding the country. I support term limits as well as banning politicians and judges from conflicts of interest like trading stocks.

I believe you deserve to have your rights and safety protected as much as the “elites” that influence our political system. I’ve been shot at, spit on, punched, kicked and stabbed while fulfilling my duty to protect the public. After facing down and arresting some of the most violent criminals in the country as a police officer, I’ve got no problem saying “no” to lobbyists and special interests in the other Washington. I’d be honored to fight for you in Congress and ensure you and your family are protected. Let’s get started!

Elected Experience

I have never run for any office although I have changed laws at the city and state levels.

Other Professional Experience

I have been talkin politics since my early 20’s, which was before Reagan-omics. I decided I needed to shut-up or get involved, so here I am.

Education

I love to learn, I enjoy our Mechanical Universe and trying to understand the human mind. I will watch documentaries and educational shows whenever I get a chance. Graduate, South Eugene High School

Community Service

I have volunteered as a cameraman at church and I have built training devices for service dogs, just to name a few.

Statement

This might be the only chance you’re going to have to get to know me. Talk to me on Facebook V4ME2022 or ericmahaffy.com on the net.

I am a proud working-class, blue-jeans and t-shirt kind of guy. I understand governing is not about my opinions, but about me doing my best to represent you. When people talk about what kind of candidates they want, they say “I want someone who’s not a professional politician, who understands the working class, who understands that they’re working for the people, and who is not being supported by big money.” And boy do I fit that description! I have no support or funding from corporations. I don’t have any buddies that need a favor, and I’m not a wealthy man with lots of influence. I can’t even afford to take time off my job to run for office so don’t be surprised when I show up to talk and still have some sheetrock dust on me.

This government is supposed to be, by, for and of the people. I think too many in Congress represent special interests and the rich over the working class. My working-class perspective is needed in Congress. I have been an employee and an employer and selfemployed so I understand all sides of the job market. We all need good Jobs!

If you are tired of campaign ads, lawn signs, and flyers everywhere then you need to vote for me. Why? I’m not trying to make a buck! Also when I win and have put out no ads, flyers or signs you’ll understand I am a man of my word.

I have a True Love of this Country and when the Citizens are United, there is No Wrong that Cannot Be Fixed!

Thank you, Eric Mahaffy
