Eric’s journey is unique and valuable for solving problems. Living in his car during college taught Eric Guerra about determination and resilience. As a local leader, he’s using the experience to deliver results. On homelessness, he’s led converting vacant lots with homeless camps into lasting housing, like the 700 affordable units on various Stockton Blvd campsites, while expanding St. John’s women’s shelter three-fold. Eric’s the candidate with success on homelessness…and the one who would NEVER support encampments in parks or near childcare centers.
Eric will fight for the most vulnerable. On the council, he led the effort to crack down on human trafficking in Sacramento, allowing law enforcement to go after abusers and to help trafficking victims. As Supervisor, he will prioritize public safety and protecting.
Eric Guerra knows that the cost and availability of childcare are major issues affecting Sacramento families, especially when it takes two incomes to make ends meet in Sacramento. That’s why he worked to secure $1,000,000 in funding to prevent childcare center closings, start new childcare centers, and start an apprentice program to train new caregivers.
While on the Sacramento City Council, Eric Guerra has sped up construction of new homes for seniors, students, and working families, including 3,000 units of affordable housing and student housing near Sacramento State. As Supervisor, he will continue to fight for housing.
Eric is a strong advocate for reproductive rights. He wrote the law protecting patients from harassment at Planned Parenthood facilities, because everyone deserves dignified access to healthcare.
While working in the Legislature, Eric Guerra worked to pass the Tenant Protection and Relief Act preventing excessive rent increases and protecting tenants from unfair evictions. As Supervisor, he will advocate for renters and working families.
Eric led the effort to create the FUEL Network which offers free immigration legal consultation, mental health services, a rapid response hotline and training for school educators. He’ll continue to take on the fight of fair treatment for vulnerable members of our community.
