Eric Palmer has been a frontline government worker his whole career. Because of his values, experience, work ethic and commitment to frontline workers of Monterey County, he’s proud to receive a unanimous endorsement from the frontline workforce of the City of Monterey, United Public Employees of California (LiUNA) Local 792, which includes your librarians, parks, harbor and streets workers, recreation specialists, administrative assistants, custodians, mechanics and many more service positions. Thank you to the Monterey Firefighters Local 3707 for recognizing Eric’s commitment to firefighters and public safety with an endorsement.
He’s also been endorsed by the Monterey Bay Central Labor Council, Operating Engineers Local 3, Sheet Metal Workers' Local Union No. 104, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 234 and the Monterey/Santa Cruz Building and Construction Trades Council. Eric is committed to creating jobs, building affordable housing for these essential workers and their families, and retaining the talented frontline workforce of the City of Monterey who provide our city services.
Eric Palmer has been a renter for most of his adult life. Since moving here at 18 to raising a family at 40, he has seen the astronomical rise in rental and home prices over the years. Childcare, grocery and utility costs add to the financial hardships that working-class residents, seniors on fixed incomes and families face every day. These residents can save or prepare for health emergencies or for home ownership.
Eric’s commitment to address this cost of living crisis has given him endorsements from the California Democratic Renters Council and Monterey County Renters United. A top priority of his platform is to build more affordable housing and to continue or expand the emergency rental assistance program. Eric co-managed the emergency rental assistance program for City of Monterey residents during the COVID-19 shutdown and stay-at-home orders that put many in our workforce out of jobs.
