Meet Eric
Eric Wilson is deeply rooted in Western Wisconsin with family going back five generations. He comes from a big family of teachers, coaches, small business owners, and manufacturing workers.
As a graduate from UW-Madison with a degree in economics, I have spent the past decade, building small businesses, working in project management, and as a mortgage professional helping families navigate the complexities of buying their first home.
Wisconsinites believe in justice, democracy, and bold solutions to the crises we face.
As Treasurer, my mission is to build a state government that earns trust through: Transparency, Knowledge, and Action.
Here’s what I’m fighting for:
- Guard the People’s Money — Transparent, accountable stewardship that puts taxpayers first.
- Return What’s Yours — Modernize unclaimed property so more money gets back to Wisconsin families.
- Invest in Our Future — Grow trust funds that support schools, libraries, and communities.
- Champion Innovation in Finance — Support responsible blockchain adoption to modernize Wisconsin’s financial infrastructure and improve transparency.
This isn’t just a wishlist — I have the skill set to help make it happen.
Let’s build it together.
