Our jails are experiencing their highest head count in history, primarily due to local law enforcement being pressured by Tallahassee to criminalize homelessness. Eric Gray will focus on providing more public restrooms, as the most common violation amongst all incarcerated central Floridians is public urination. Our community needs many small shelters that blend into surrounding communities, such that they become points of community pride, not derision.

Affordable Housing As a member of the Orange County Planning & Zoning Commission, Eric Gray is fighting for real solutions to the affordable housing crisis. With over half of local families spending more than 30% of their income on housing—and many spending over 50%—our community is in urgent need of change. Eric supports bold policies that ensure the construction of affordable homes for families earning $30,000, $50,000, and $70,000 a year. With a regional housing shortage of at least 50,000 units, we must reform single-purpose zoning laws to promote multi-family housing that works for all, not just the wealthy. Eric is committed to making housing affordable and ensuring each person in Orange and Osceola counties can live with dignity.

Tourism tax investments should be reviewed by independent out-of-state economists who can forecast the return on investment for fantastic projects like the Convention Center, popular stadiums, world class attractions and cutting edge theaters.

Eric believes that working families deserve to benefit from their tax dollars by re-investment into our community, not handing them over to boost the bottom line of out-of-touch corporations.
