Erik is a man of principle who has lived by a core set of values his whole life. He was born into a military family, graduated from West Point, fought for America in the War Against Terrorism, and now he’s running to serve our great nation in Washington. A warrior like him is exactly who we need to bridge the divides and fight for our values. We need to get America back on track and it starts by electing Erik Aadland.“
