I am running for Congress in the 2nd Congressional District. My name is Erick Wright, and it is an honor to run for Congress. I set out to help restore faith in the public process and elevate the dialogue between Congress and the beautiful people Congress represents. You are those people, and I believe I am succeeding by reaching out to you. My message continues to be consistent; we need to make sure that Congress is working for the good of all Americans, more specifically, the people living in the counties of the 2nd Congressional District. The following counties are listed below: Autauga, Barbour, Bullock, Butler, Coffee, Conecuh, Covington, Crenshaw, Dale, Elmore, Geneva, Henry, Houston, Pike, and parts of Montgomery. I stand for and support tax reform, simplification of taxes, lowering corporate tax rates, closing loopholes for oil companies, and raising minimum wage to give working American families a livable income.I am all about positively progressing America. I will progress this country by introducing, writing, supporting, and encouraging other members of Congress to support bills and companies that increase the development of renewable energy sources. The increase, of renewable energy sources, creates long-term solutions to our current energy crisis. Partisanship hurt us. We no longer need separation. Instead, we need to unify and work together as Americans to find solutions that benefit the entire country and Alabamians;because, we have exceptional and unique challenges that require unique Alabamian solutions.On November 4th, make the right choice. Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District should vote for Erick Wright. I ask you for your support and your vote; because, I will work hard for all members of our community. I know you are going to make the right choice, and remember we can accomplish great things if we work together for Alabama’s future.
