Eric Eisnaugle (born February 6, 1977) is an American attorney and Republican Party politician who serves as the District 44 Representative in the Florida House of Representatives. He previously represented District 40 from 2009 to 2012.

Early life

Eisnaugle was born in Arcadia, Florida on February 6, 1977. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in 2000 from Florida Southern College and a Juris Doctor from Vanderbilt University Law School in 2003. His wife, originally from Iowa, is attorney Carrie Eisnaugle, the President of Florida Right to Life.[1][2]

Political career

Eisnaugle was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 2008, winning the Republican primary against former State House candidate Joe Mantilla with 68% of the vote[3] and the general election against Democrat Todd Christian with 52% of the vote.[4] He was re-elected in 2010 in a rematch with Christian with 60% of the vote.[5] In the House, he was seen as a rising star and a "favorite" of social conservatives. In his second term, he Chaired the Civil Justice Committee and was Vice Chairman of the Economic Development Policy Committee and the Rules and Calendar Committee.[2]

After redistricting following the 2010 United States Census, Eisnaugle's district was merged with that of fellow Republican Seth McKeel from the 63rd district. As McKeel had more seniority, Eisnaugle declined to run against him.[2][6]

After leaving the House, Eisnaugle continued fundraising and campaigning in anticipation of running for the term-limited Republican Steve Precourt's seat in the 44th District.[7] When Precourt resigned in January 2014 for a job at the Orlando–Orange County Expressway Authority, Eisnaugle declared his candidacy.[6] His rolling campaign meant that potential Republican candidates Winter Garden City Commissioner Bobby Olszewski and businessman, pastor and 2012 State House nominee Ronney Olivera declined to run against him.[2]

He defeated teacher, English professor and former Orange County School Board member Vicky Bell in the Republican primary with 85% of the vote[8] and in the special election on Tuesday, April 8, 2014, he defeated Democratic businessman Shaun Raja with 74% of the vote.[9][1]
