SECOND GUEST: Eric Eisenhammer |

ERIC
EISENHAMMER |
About Eric
Eric
is talented in grassroots campaigns and social network and internet
communications. Eric serves as a full-time staff member for the
Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association where he performs community
outreach, web marketing and policy research.
Over the
course of the 18 months preceding the November 2010 election, Eric
worked as a consultant on the Proposition 23 campaign where he
played a main role in the effort’s development from its
conceptualization by Assemblyman Dan Logue onward to Election Day.
Over the course of that time, he gave speeches to business and
activist groups up and down California, worked on the campaign’s
volunteer signature gathering operation and created a high traffic
campaign website as well as the second-largest Facebook pages of any
of that election’s initiative proponents. At the conclusion of the
campaign, he created a permanent nonprofit organization to advocate
on issues of affordable energy and economic growth.
For the May 2009 special election, Eric served as point person for
the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association’s campaign opposing
Proposition 1A where he built a social networking presence three
times larger than proponents in an opposition effort that prevailed
despite being outspent by a large margin.
Eric first came to Sacramento to serve as a Fellow for Senator Bob
Dutton after interning for then-Senator Tom McClintock where he
performed constituent services and first began his involvement in
grassroots campaigns. |
