In the House, Eric will:
Eric Rouse is a big believer in the American Dream and is running for Congress to fight for the America First Agenda that protects and promotes more and better American jobs for American workers. Rouse’s father was a small business owner, so Rouse saw first-hand every day how much hard work it takes to manage a small business.
After earning his degree from East Carolina University, Rouse returned home to Kinston and got to work. Despite the challenges of burdensome government overregulation, Eric has successfully created and currently operates six small businesses, ranging from modular construction to concrete to directional drilling. And yes, Rouse has his Commercial Driver’s License (CDL – it’s a license to drive a big truck) if he needs to deliver the equipment himself. As a proven job creator, Rouse understands that small businesses are the backbone of our economy and is running to fight for the America First Agenda and to roll back the regulations that stifle growth and opportunity. Rouse also has a Federal Firearms License.
Rouse currently serves the community as a Lenoir County Commissioner, where he has earned a reputation as a fiscal conservative. During his tenure, Rouse has been a stalwart champion for taxpayers, consistently voting against all tax and fee increases. His record is a testament to his belief that responsible government means managing taxpayer money with the same care and discipline required to run a small business or manage a family budget.
Rouse and his wife, Alice, live in Kinston with their two children and three dogs.
