Meet Eric
Eric Yonce is a business owner, community advocate, and progressive leader committed to serving Florida's 6th District. He believes public service starts with listening—and that strong communities grow when families, small businesses, and local leaders have the freedom to thrive.
A lifetime in our community
Eric was born in Florida, raised in the Sixth District, and has always called this community home. Growing up in Citra and graduating from North Marion High School shaped his connection to the people and places of the district. His father served as an Ocala police officer, while his mother leads the local Realtor Association and works to make homeownership more accessible. Their example taught Eric the importance of hard work, public service, and standing up for neighbors.
