Rooted in service.
Running for our home.

Hello, I'm Eric Shaw.

I am a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, 48th District, which includes Temecula, Murrieta, Palm Springs, Hemet, Escondido, Vista, our Tribal friends, and our rural neighborhoods near the Salton Sea, down close to the Mexican border, coming back north through cities in northern San Diego County.

I have lived in Temecula with my wife and four kids for over 12 years. We love the community and the life we have built here, which is one of the reasons I'm running. I want to see the 48th District live up to its maximum potential and beyond.

Midwest values. California innovation.

Growing up in the Midwest for half my life and California for the other half gives me a unique perspective from both sides of the aisle. As a digital marketing executive who has built businesses right here in Southern California, I know what it takes to negotiate, deliver results, and solve real problems with limited resources. Congress needs more of that and fewer career politicians.

With our new district, we need principled leaders who feel comfortable talking, walking, and negotiating in both worlds. If elected, I will work hard to bridge the divide that Washington politicians thrive on. I will not use fear as a weapon. I will be transparent.

Why I'm running.

Our country needs leaders grounded in common sense, integrity, and a willingness to bring people together to create real change above party lines. For too long, politics has gotten in the way of meaningful progress. District 48 is new, diverse, and full of opportunity. It deserves a representative who is committed to growing our economy, creating jobs, strengthening small businesses, improving access to quality healthcare, supporting rural communities, and building stronger partnerships with our Tribal communities while honoring their sovereignty.

My goal is simple: listen to the people, lead with purpose, and make sure every voice is heard. Your concerns matter. Your families matter. Your future matters.

This is not Republican vs. Democrat.

We must work together. Gone are the days of single-issue down-ballot voting. We are everyday people fighting the same battles. It is time to drop the rhetoric and bridge the gap between us with principled leadership.

The 48th will be a beacon of how conservatives, independents, and liberals can agree and work together on the issues that matter most to our district.

My actions will mirror your voices. Let me be the representative who champions your concerns in Congress.
