After redistricting, IL-17 was one of the most competitive congressional races in the 2022 midterm elections. Eric became the first meteorologist elected to Congress in 50 years and the first openly LGBTQ elected official to represent Illinois in Congress after winning in 2022. Despite a massive wave of GOP spending in this district, Eric defeated his well-funded and better-known opponent in 2022 by 3 points.

There are few climate experts in Congress and few openly LGBTQ+ members: this is a must-win race if Democrats want to flip the House blue this November.
