Spent some time enjoying our amazing small businesses here in District 35 today. Thank you to our team who's helping our campaign be coordinated and effective in our mission to deliver better leadership for district 35!

At a time when families are struggling to afford rent, groceries, and basic necessities, Representative Booth decided that protecting the partisan advantage was more important than protecting her constituents. This is partisan politics at its worst. #floridaredistricting #gerrymandering

I’m grateful to announce Moms Demand Action has recognized our campaign. In Tallahassee I plan on working closely with advocates personally affected by senseless violence to bring gun-sense reform to our communities.

This weekend was great! It’s vital we turn out for Melissa Marantes and Johanna Lopez on August 18th, to make sure we’re represented by candidates we can trust.

Happy to share that @jj-holmes.bsky.social has decided to endorse our campaign. “I’m a disability advocate, so I know a bit about persistence…” When lawmakers chose to fund toll relief instead of help people waiting on disability assistance, he spoke up.

The campaign had a busy day yesterday! I got to start my day at the Orange County mayoral forum. Then I met up with @maxwellfrost.bsky.social to speak to voters. I ended the day by meeting Avalon residents at Absolutely Avalon.

Seen a few weeks ago at our house in #LakeNona, #Florida:

I worked on bringing affordable housing to Orange County for 8 years. Legislators in Tallahassee blocked it with SB 180. Effectively nullifying the ability to build new housing. There’s never been a more important time in history for housing. It’s time we speak up. #affordablehousing

We spent this weekend knocking doors. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social's team joined us in talking to our future constituents. This campaign is built by the people I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with. No data can ever replace a real conversation. Join us next Saturday!

Thank you Commissioner Nicole Wilson for your endorsement. Your work shows what’s possible when actionable leaders are in charge, they deliver real results. I look forward to working with you to move Central Florida towards a brighter future.

We’ve lost our law-makers to special interests and the billionaire class. Right now, our government is up in flames. Fire rescue may be on the way, but someone needs to step up and run inside with a bucket of water till then. That building is the state capital and I’m compelled to try to help.

I fully support interfaith collaboration on key issues like homelessness, poverty, and social justice, recognizing that faith-based organizations are vital in addressing these challenges.

Affordability isn’t a left vs. right issue, it’s a top vs. bottom one. The lawmakers in power are happy letting the people with billions spend their way to victory, but I’m not. We’ll continue to lose Tallahassee to the billionaire class if we don’t speak up when it matters.

We need to end corporate influence over policy. I’ll continue to fight for the will of the people over the will of corporations during this campaign and after we win in November. #corporationsarenotpeople

Thank you to Paul and Eric for hosting such an amazing event last night in Lake Nona to support our campaign. Also thank you to our special guest @keenforfl.bsky.social for joining us. Commissioner Keen knows what it takes to flip this seat and that’s exactly what we’re going to do in November.

Melissa has spent 30+ years fighting for justice and defending people’s rights in court. Her decades of dedicated advocacy continues to inspire me. Thank you for your trust in me and your support of our campaign.

My work as an advocate for the unhoused has shown me the harsh realities some families face every day. I’m working to make sure that every Floridian has a roof over their head and the basic necessities they need to live. #affordablehousing

We’ve been out knocking doors all weekend! Thankful for Congressman Frost’s team for joining us today. We’ve had great conversations with future constituents all across District 35. Head to Ericgrayforflorida.com to join us next time! @maxwellfrost.bsky.social

Affordability is at the heart of this campaign because I have seen leaders neglect the underlying issues that make it almost impossible to keep them accountable. Keeping track of how we’re providing for our citizens and their needs will be a top priority for me in Tallahassee. #affordability

Our lawmakers in Tallahassee must vote in the interest of their constituents. Not for their re-election or their corporate donors.

This campaign is fueled by love. My love for my family, faith, neighbors, and community keeps me going. This fight isn’t easy, but it is worth it. Because every one of us deserves to live with dignity and love. Happy Valentine’s Day! -Eric

Affordability isn’t just a buzzword, it’s everything around us. If we want actual change in our daily lives, we’ll need to deliver it ourselves. #affordability #housing #florida #vote #wastefraudabuse

We had an incredible canvass launch this morning, spreading the word about our campaign and engaging with voters at their front doors. Thank you so much to all our amazing volunteers who braved the (Florida) cold this morning to help us get our message out. We’re working hard everyday to flip HD35!

Early moments matter. Your support today helps prove this campaign belongs to the people, not special interests. Support us at ericgrayforflorida.com

Our community deserves resources to support the 1 million extra visitors we see everyday. Unfortunately, Florida has handcuffed our ability to do that in order to continue corporate welfare. I’ll fight to change that. #affordability #centralflorida #florida #vote #wastefraudabuse

Merry Christmas! In the glow of this season and the company of family, I’m reminded that Christmas is love entering the world in a humble way - calling us to love more deeply, give more freely, and care for our neighbors.

Florida isn't working for working families. Tallahassee seems more focused on wealthy donors and holding onto power rather than serving the people. We're trying to change that. Join us this month for our official campaign kickoff on Nov. 18th! RSVP here: secure.actblue.com/donate/eric-...

The “one size fits all” approach is failing our communities. We have to use every tool available to seriously address the housing crisis facing everyday families in this moment. #housing #affordability #centralflorida #homelessness #florida

Faith teaches us to love all our neighbors, not just the ones we agree with. Many officials use faith as a way to divide us, but they misrepresent everything that faith is about.

How long until we see troops on our streets and in our community? How long until our service men and women are asked to fire on American citizens? #wastefraudabuse #florida #vote #elections #orlando

Tallahassee has turned their back on the working people of Florida. It’s more important than ever that we show up for our neighbors, listen to them, and work to help them. #centralflorida #wastefraudabuse #affordability #vote #florida

Everyday I see firsthand, folks who are struggling with Florida’s affordability crisis. Yet Tallahassee has turned their back on them. It’s time for new leadership that actually puts Floridians first. #florida #floridapolitics #centralflorida #wastefraudabuse #affordability

This isn't your grandmothers Democratic Party, and we won't sacrifice our community for Republicans idealogical power grab.

Tom Keen did what no one thought was possible, he made headlines when he flipped HD35 blue for the first time in 30+ years. He brought back millions for education and clean water. I can’t thank him enough for standing with us in our fight to flip House District 35 blue again. @keenforfl.bsky.social

This campaign is not about me, it’s about working people who are tired of politics as usual. Thank you to all of the Floridians that joined us this morning to help us announce our campaign. Together, we will bring the fight for Central Florida to Tallahassee.

Commissioner Semrad is a fierce and vocal leader on critical issues like smart growth and local control. I’m very thankful to have her support and trust to champion those same issues in the Florida Legislature.

I’ve known Representative Anna V. Eskamani for a while, yet she continues to impress me with her intelligence, work ethic, and compassion. I’m extremely proud to have her in my corner as we work together to build a better Florida. @annaforflorida.bsky.social

If we seriously believe in a Florida that doesn't price working families out of the state and sell them out to corporations, then we can’t afford to not get in this fight. Head to Ericgrayforflorida.com to join us in the fight for the Florida we deserve. #floridapolitics #centralflorida #vote

Orlando Commissioner Shan Rose knows exactly what our community needs because she’s in the community every single day. From food banks to local forums, she’s always hearing from her constituents. That’s why it means so much to me to have her support for my campaign.

We have a leader in Congress that is unlike any other. Congressman Frost is meeting this moment with passion and integrity, serving as a voice for our community and a new generation of leaders. I am honored to have his endorsement during this journey. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social

Our state is in the midst of a crisis. As the cost of rent, utilities, and even groceries continues to rise, politicians in Tallahassee have turned their back on the working families of Florida.

Tallahassee is sending a clear message: They don't trust local communities to lead. Well I do. It's time we look for the actual waste, fraud, and abuse thats running rampant in Tallahassee. #floridapolitics #orangecounty #orlando #centralflorida #localgovernment #wastefraudabuse

I'll say it again. This is worst-case scenario for homeless services. The Trump administrations cuts have real consequences and lives will be lost because of them. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/06/09/t...

This week I stood with @uaw.org as they strike for a fair contract. What an amazing yet unfortunate experience. By the time Lockheed Martin comes to the bargaining table, they will have been striking for 20 days straight, all day, everyday. These folks are tired, but they're not backing down.

Why do we have strict regulations for helping our citizens but not for spending tax payer money on proposals or advertisements? When we rely on self-reported data, we're not putting our people first, we're catering to large corporations. Orange County can do better.

Why is it acceptable to send millions in taxpayer money to WWE without clear economic analysis? Even worse, when we actually put our citizens first and invest in public transit or housing, we do need economic analysis. Our county's priorities are backwards. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/04/16/w...

“Probably my favorite part of the whole job is I don’t think a single work day has gone by in a full year where I didn’t sign a request to house somebody or put them on a bus.” It’s an honor to be able to serve our community everyday. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/04/09/n...

Tourism marketing in Orange County must evolve. We can no longer rely on massive convention centers or theme parks. By using TDT funds more strategically, we can enhance the tourism experience and create lasting value for our region. We must act now. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/04/06/c...
