Volunteer FAQ
Everything you need mid-conversation — talking points, tricky questions, and Eric’s story.
1. Issue-specific talking points
Use these in your own words — you don’t need to read them verbatim.
Eric believes we should fix our problems at home instead of starting wars, roll back these reckless tariffs, and bring down costs for American families.
Eric is a fresh voice, not a career politician. He refuses corporate PAC money because he can't be bought, and in Congress he'll ban members from stock trading and from becoming lobbyists.
Eric opposes Trump's devastating cuts to Medicare and Medicaid and wants to lower medical costs so no family has to choose between health care and food on the table.
Eric is the son of immigrants from Vietnam who found a home in Michigan. Fighting back against ICE is deeply personal for him, which is why he'll demand we dismantle ICE and advocate for comprehensive immigration reform.
Eric is a former teacher who worked on President Obama's America's College Promise. He wants to invest in public education and make two years of community college free.
2. Possible tricky questions
We’re calling voters in the district using publicly available voter registration lists.
I’m a volunteer calling with the campaign—I’m actually based in [state], but helping reach voters in the district.
Understood—I appreciate you sharing that. Thanks for taking a moment to chat.
For anything you’re not sure about: “Great question — I’ll have the campaign follow up with you on that”, note it on the call, and move on.
3. Eric’s biography
Eric Chung is a constitutional lawyer who grew up in Macomb and Oakland County as the son of an autoworker.

He’s a former teacher who worked on President Obama’s America’s College Promise, and he refuses corporate PAC money. He’s running for Congress in Michigan’s 10th district to fight back against the Trump Administration’s attacks on our rights, our democracy, and our health care.
