🔥 In This Episode, Eric Discusses:🗳️ About Eric France🔗 Stay Connected With Eric France

Today’s guest is Eric France, Democratic candidate for Congress in Illinois’ 2nd District — one of the most diverse, expansive, and closely watched districts in the entire country. Eric isn’t a career politician. He’s a businessman, community advocate, and lifelong South Sider shaped by public service, public-sector work, and a deep commitment to building a better future for every family across IL-2.

As the leader of The France Group — the firm founded by his father, the late Dr. Erwin France, a major architect of Chicago political history — Eric has spent decades supporting public and private organizations, expanding minority business access, and advancing housing and development initiatives. Now he’s bringing that experience to Washington.

With the 2nd District spanning 8 counties and nearly 4,000 square miles — from Chicago’s South Side to downstate farmland — Eric knows this race requires a leader who can unite urban, suburban, and rural voices into one vision of progress.

His mission is simple: open doors of opportunity for the people who have been overlooked, unheard, and underserved for far too long.

Whether you’re in Chicago, Kankakee, Champaign, or Ford County — Eric wants to listen, learn, and partner with the community to move Illinois forward.

✔ Why IL-2 needs bold, accountable leadership — not political insiders

✔ What he learned growing up with Dr. Erwin France, a giant in Chicago politics

✔ His platform: economic development, affordable housing, education, healthcare & jobs

✔ Why the district is underperforming — and where he sees massive economic potential

✔ How he’ll support minority-owned businesses and build pathways to prosperity

✔ The importance of listening first, speaking second

✔ Why “old keys don’t unlock new doors” — and what that means for IL-2’s future

• Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress, IL-2 • CEO, The France Group

• Son of Dr. Erwin France — historic advisor to Chicago mayors since the 1960s

• Advocate for economic growth, minority business development & community reinvestment

• Lifelong South Sider, now residing in Lynwood, IL

• Husband to Tawnya, who inspires his daily fight for a better future

Eric believes Illinois deserves leadership that reflects the people, not the powerful. Leadership that creates opportunity, not obstacles. Leadership that moves Illinois forward, not backward.
