Notable personal detailsEric Chung is a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Michigan’s 10th Congressional District. He is an attorney who previously worked at the U.S. Department of Commerce, including work related to implementation of the CHIPS and Science Act. He grew up in Michigan as the child of an auto worker and immigrants from Vietnam, and he attended Lamphere High School before earning degrees from Harvard College and Yale Law School.
Supports restoring the child tax credit to reduce taxes on working families, rolling back tariffs that raise prices, and providing tax credits to companies that create jobs in the United States. Emphasizes protecting Social Security and Medicaid while promoting targeted business incentives to bring manufacturing and jobs to Michigan.
Supports building on the Affordable Care Act to expand affordable coverage, including restoring marketplace tax credits, expanding prescription drug negotiation, undoing Medicare/Medicaid cuts, and creating a robust public option to lower costs through competition.
Supports comprehensive immigration reform that both secures the border and creates a pathway to citizenship for otherwise law‑abiding people; favors a working E‑Verify system and directing enforcement resources toward violent criminals rather than otherwise law‑abiding immigrants.
Supports unrestricted abortion access, describes himself as 100% pro-choice, and supports federal protections to reinstate the rights guaranteed by Roe v. Wade. Backs codifying reproductive healthcare protections at the federal level, including access to abortion, IVF, and birth control. Opposes efforts to roll back reproductive rights and supports eliminating measures like the Hyde Amendment to preserve access through Medicaid.
The candidate emphasizes protecting clean air and clean water, holding PFAS and other polluters accountable, and removing tax preferences for oil and gas while supporting public agencies like the EPA to address pollution. He frames industrial and manufacturing policy (e.g., CHIPS implementation) as part of economic recovery but does not endorse large-scale fossil-fuel phaseouts or Green New Deal–style commitments in the cited materials.
Eric Chung is one of the candidates in the crowded race for Michigan’s 10th Congressional District, which is drawing attention ahead of the 2026 House election. The seat is open after John James left to run for governor, and the district is being described as leaning Republican. Recent coverage says six candidates are on the August primary ballot, split evenly between Democrats and Republicans, but it does not report any election result yet.
