Hi friend, it’s Eric’s partner Shawn.

As we wrap up 2025, I wanted to send you a note to tell you how much we appreciate all of your support over the past several years.

I'm not here to scare you, or talk about what's wrong in Washington.

Because there's one thing you have to understand about us: Hate has never been a family value of ours. Love always has.

Maybe that's why our community first elected Eric. Folks were tired of feeling made to be small and under-represented, but in Eric folks see a glimmer of hope.

Since I met him, Eric’s love for our place in the world and his commitment to putting our neighbors well-being first has been truly inspiring. And I know that hope is what Eric carries with him every day, working around the clock for the safety and care of our region.

But in the face of that hope, there are real threats from deep pocketed, extreme individuals who don't share our values. It's your energy, your support that gives us the courage and the strength to keep going, even in the most challenging times.

Which brings me to my least favorite part of this email. Eric is facing his final end-of-quarter deadline before his election year, and we would sincerely appreciate $3 or more to show everyone that we can lead with compassion and a commitment to freedom for everyone. Your support, no matter the size, matters.
