Eric Lucan for State Assembly 2026

Not just promises—Delivering real results.

Above all, thank you.

From Sausalito to Santa Rosa, you knocked on doors, opened your living rooms and patios for house parties, emailed and texted voters to explain the issues, talked to neighbors and so many of you joined us for a truly incredible rally in Novato. From the beginning, this campaign belonged to the community that built it, and more than anything else, I’m grateful beyond words.

I'm proud of our collective effort and our commitment to running a positive campaign, grounded in integrity and decency, focused on the issues that matter to local people. That was fundamental from the beginning, we never wavered, and everyone on our team or who spoke out on the campaign’s behalf held that standard.

While there are still ballots to tally, it seems clear that we won’t come out ahead. I’ve called Jackie and congratulated her.

My commitment to our community doesn’t end with this election. I’m not sure what’s next, but I am sure we will continue to partner together for a healthier, stronger, more resilient future for every North Bay resident and business–there is still a lot to do.

Thank you for everything. It’s been an incredible journey.

“When I look into the eyes of my young kids I’m reminded of what really matters, and the power and responsibility we have at the local and state levels. With courage and tenacity, I’m ready to bring my years of experience and effectiveness to the California State Legislature. I look forward to fighting for all of us in Sacramento.”
