WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS?

We should expect any conservative who wants to represent the 14th District to be strong in their faith, to fully support the 2nd Amendment, to want to stop illegal immigration, to be Pro-life, and to support our constitution.  These are a given.   What separates me from everyone else is my long experience in business and economic development.  I understand the hard work it takes to bring new industries and manufacturing facilities to a rural district, because I do this everyday in my current role in the rail industry.  I will work with every counties economic development office to make sure I am fully engaged in their efforts and that I will help knock down barriers and remove red tape that may prevent them from landing new industries.  And my office will be completely transparent about the work we are doing.  There are a lot of important issues right now, fighting socialism, the war between Russia and Ukraine, and in Israel, and the lurching of China over Taiwan, healthcare, and many more.  But right now, it's about the economy for the 14th District and I can help because I am already helping in other rural counties in Florida and Alabama.  Check out my resume and work history on Linkedin at www.linkedin.com/in/eric-cunningham-a0aa0339​

I am a strong Conservative Republican just like most of those in the 14th District and I'll fight to protect our rights and ensure your voices are being listened to, not just heard.  But I am concerned, not just for our Great Country, but for our Great Party, the Republican Party.  I see and hear the extreme liberal and socialist values and agenda coming from the Left.  Their belief is that if you are not in 100% agreement with them, then you are too conservative for their otherwise very liberal party.  AOC, Crockett, Jeffries, Tlaib, Mamdani, the list goes on are literally ruining their Party because of these beliefs.  Joe Biden ruined our Great Country because he acquiesced to their demands and because of this, the Democrats lost big to President Trump in the 2024 Presidential Election.  They are self destructing because of the far left extremists.  This is great for the Republican Party, in the short term.  But we need to be focusing on a longer term strategy.  In order to keep our party strong, we are going to need the voters, ALL VOTERS to stay engaged and feel like we are the party that can lead this Country to be Stronger than it has been.  We have to stop alienating the moderate Republicans, the Independents, and any of the swing voters who feel concerned about what they hear and read from both parties.  I am not running to Represent only a certain segment of the Republican Party, I am running to Represent the Whole Republican Party and the Independents.  They may not agree right down the line with ALL of my Conservative Values, but they agree enough to know that I'll do what is Right for the 14th District and our Country.  If we continue to elect and listen to only Extreme politicians, we will be dealt the same blows the liberal Democrats are going to be dealt in mid-terms.

I'm passionate about all of the same issues that all strong conservatives are passionate about each and every day. I support our 2nd Amendment Rights, I am Pro-Life, protecting our constitutional rights, establishing term limits, supporting election integrity, a strong national defense, putting God back in our country, and promoting traditional moral values.  All Conservative Republicans can agree on these high profile values and we should continue to ensure these values are protected each and every day.  But there are a lot of other issues going on in the lives of the 14th District every day that are getting very little or no attention at all in Congress.  I have been in Supply Chain my whole career with 29 years as a leader in the rail industry where I led teams and managed over $1.6 Billion in revenue and continued growth working with small business customers to Fortune 200 companies.  I've had to negotiate with people of all types of personalities and no matter how far apart we may have been on a deal, we were always able to come to some sort of agreement.  Supply Chain can be an economic growth engine and can help create good paying jobs in rural areas. There are lots of opportunities and ways to improve the economic impact in our 14th District.  

I have previously served our community as a Board Member for the Northwest YMCA for seven years, where I was Vice Chair.  I previously led a committee on Opioid and Heroin Awareness, working together with other community groups, the DEA, and the DA to host Awareness Meetings at Schools or Neighborhood Clubhouses or the YMCA.  Opioid, Heroin, and Meth addiction is a HUGE issue in our local communities.  Joe Biden's reversal of President Trump's immigration policies allowed countless illegal immigrants to freely come into our Great Country.  These illegals are criminals who are bringing with them fentanyl and killing our kids and millions of other Great Americans.  This has become the #1 leading cause of death for people ages 18-45.  The focus and work that President Trump has put into stopping these illegal criminals and helping save lives needs to be supported and continued.  People need help, not just locally, not just from the state, but also from the Federal Government.  We need to hear more from our political representatives about how we can all work together to provide support for individuals and families struggling with this issue, right here in GA-14.  But once again, it is not a headline grabber, it doesn't get the likes on social media and increase name recognition.  

We need people leading our Great Country who can multi-task, who can protect our Conservative values and at the same time focus on real issues impacting real, everyday people in their very real and everyday lives.  I will commit to focusing on these issues and commit to working with our local communities and leaders to help drive economic growth, curb drug abuse that challenges so many in our community and support our Military and our Veterans.  I absolutely love what President Trump said he would do in his 12/17/25 address about sending checks of $1,776 to each of those in our military who voluntarily put their lives on the line to protect us!

Venezuela 

This is a smart, strategic geopolitical move by the United States and President Trump.  China relies/relied on Venezuela for oil and the United States gets a lot of chips out of Taiwan.  I've been saying for years that we need to protect Taiwan and make sure China does not invade them, thus taking control of their chips and who gets them.  We're finally starting to build chip manufacturing capacity in the U.S. but it's still not going to be enough to support/supply the demand in the U.S. Think about all of the cell phones, vehicles, computers, etc. that require these chips. Think about how many you use in your own family, now think what it might look like if China controlled that supply! With Venezuela, we now have huge leverage!  Thank you President Trump!
