Hi, friend, I hope your week is off to a good start.

I wanted to share with you something funny that I’ve noticed my opponent likes to do – misspell my name.

You see, he thinks my name is “Eric SorenSON,” not Eric SorenSEN.

It’s not the first time it’s happened, but I do find it funny that someone who is going to spend millions of dollars against me can’t even spell my name correctly.

It does make some sense, though. After all, the person he says I am has no real resemblance to me or the work I’ve done in Washington.

For one, he claims I’m an “out-of-touch, Washington elitist.” That may be true of “Eric SorenSON,” but it’s definitely not true of Eric Sorensen. I still shop at my local Jewel-Osco in Moline, and most of my neighbors still know me as their local weatherman.
For another, he claims I’m “ignoring my constituents and playing party politics.” That may be true of “Eric SorenSON,” but it’s definitely not true of me, Eric Sorensen. In just the past year, my team has closed 1,200 constituent services cases. I’ve also brought home $130 million in bipartisan federal funding to fix local infrastructure.

I’m sure I could find a few ways to misspell my opponent’s name, but I don’t need to create an alter ego to run against. I’m perfectly happy to run against the real guy, who opposes the production of clean energy here in Central and Northwestern Illinois, spreads racist conspiracy theories, and wants to strip away a woman’s right to choose.

Come November, I look forward to having my real name on the ballot up against his. Will you help the real Eric Sorensen protect IL-17 and help flip the House blue by chipping in a $5 contribution today?
