Meet Eric Meyer

Eric moved to Arizona when he was seven years old, attending Cocopah Elementary School and Chaparral High School. Eric earned a degree in Economics from the University of Southern California and a medical degree from the University of Arizona Medical School. After completing his post-graduate training in the specialty of emergency medicine, Eric worked at Portland’s Providence Emergency Department, eventually becoming Director of that department.

Eric returned to Arizona thirteen years ago with his wife, Sarah Snell, M.D., and their two children. While his wife devotes herself to her patients, Dr. Meyer serves on the Scottsdale School District Governing Board and represents the residents of District 11 at the State Capitol.

A member of the Children’s Museum of Phoenix Board of Directors and the Scottsdale Unified School District All-City Athlete Banquet Board, Eric is a dedicated advocate for children. He has also served as a Legislative Liaison for the Scottsdale Parent Council, PTO President for Arcadia Neighborhood Learning Center, and Scottsdale Unified School District Budget Committee member.

Eric believes strong public schools are the bedrock of Arizona’s future. His six years of service as a school board member have allowed him to gain intimate knowledge of our schools' needs and to develop his plan to make our schools great. He has improved academic achievement and rigor across his district, increased graduation requirements and expanded class offerings. Eric has also worked to protect teachers' salaries yearly and is leading efforts to ensure that every student is prepared for success in college and in life.

Eric’s background in economics, education, and medicine gives him the tools to address the challenges facing Arizona.  He will balance the budget in a sensible way, identify ways to diversify and strengthen our economy, and create jobs to get Arizona back on track.
