More Successes for Eisnaugle

Eric Eisnaugle, who is endorsed by Next Generation Florida for the District 40 State Representative seat to replace term-limited State Representative Andy Gardiner, made two exciting announcements today.

First of all, Eric has earned his position on the ballot in the race by petition. Eric and his wife Carrie have been collecting petitions while walking door-to-door to meet voters, and over 40 volunteers helped them gather petitions at precincts during the Presidential Preference Primary on January 29th.

“I decided to qualify by petition for two reasons, to meet and to earn the support of the voters and to conserve the hard earned dollars of my supporters. We could have paid the filing fee instead, but I think it’s important to run a fiscally conservative campaign. As a legislator, I will be just as careful with the taxpayers’ dollars. Just because we have the money doesn’t mean we have to spend it,” said Eric.

“Qualifying by petition is hard work, but the effort was well worth it. We certainly could not have com­pleted the petition gathering process this early without the help of so many committed volunteers. Car­rie and I are both looking forward to working with this group of supporters throughout the rest of the campaign,” added Eric.

Second, Eric continues to hold a signifi­cant fundraising advantage, recently announcing that he has raised over $103,000 in the race so far. Eric said, “I am both encouraged and humbled by the amount of support that my campaign has received so far. I know that a great deal of responsibility goes with the faith and trust that so many have put in me, and I am excited about the opportunity to serve our community in the Florida House.”

We here at Next Generation Florida congratulate Eric Eisnaugle on these latest achievements. Eric has done a great job running a grassroots campaign, as shown by the strong support he has in our community. We are proud of the principled and ethical campaign that he has conducted, and look forward to seeing him elected in November. Eric is definitely a worthy successor to Andy Gardiner’s seat. We encourage all of you to support his candidacy in any way you can – whether that’s through a campaign donation, putting up a yard sign, helping Eric walk his district, or just telling your family, friends, and colleagues to vote for Eric.
