Eric Rodriguez
Eric Rodriguez is an Iraq war veteran and a steward for the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), currently working at a Chicago VA hospital. Known for his advocacy for veterans' rights, Rodriguez has publicly criticized the Trump administration's treatment of veterans and the funding cuts affecting vital services. He gained media attention when it was revealed that he attended President Donald Trump's joint address to Congress as a guest of Democratic Representative Jesús 'Chuy' García, although he is not personally affiliated with the congressman. Rodriguez's family was thrust into the spotlight following the arrest of his son, Elias, who has been charged with the shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C.
