About
Eric Sundwall is a 41 year old IT consultant from Niverville, NY tired of watching the world work the way it does. In 2006 he tried to run for Congress in NY's 20th Congressional District and was knocked off the ballot by attorney Thomas Spargo representing three disparate clients. 
Despite collecting over 5200 signatures from people in the district, the NYS Board of Elections determined that he would not be on the ballot. Sundwall took his case to Federal Court, but was unable to convince Judge Lawrence Kahn that the NYS Election Law was unconstitutional.
In 2009, Governor David Paterson appointed elected representative Kirsten Gillibrand to replace Senator Hillary Clinton. A special election is being called and Eric has decided to try and get on the ballot again.
