Eric Ulrich (born February 13, 1985) is a New York City Council member representing the 32nd District. His constituency includes the neighborhoods of Belle Harbor, Breezy Point, Broad Channel, Hamilton Beach, Howard Beach, Lindenwood, Neponsit, Ozone Park, Rockaway Beach, Rockaway Park, South Ozone Park and Woodhaven in Queens. He is a Republican. He is also the only Republican elected official currently serving from the Borough of Queens.
Ulrich is a moderate Republican, breaking from conservatives on minimum wage legislation, his vocal opposition to Donald Trump, and his support for rent stabilization. As City Councilman, he led oversight committees on Hurricane Sandy relief efforts, and publicly expressed disapproval with their speed and efficiency. Ulrich's constituents reside in parts of the Rockaway Peninsula and Howard Beach which were disproportionately affected by the storm. In public statements Ulrich called the relief efforts a "bureaucratic nightmare", said the city's chosen contractors were incapable of handling the residents' needs, and recommended the head of the city's Build-it-Back program be fired by the Mayor.
Ulrich was born and raised in Ozone Park, New York where he attended P.S. 63Q (Old South), a public elementary school, and later, Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a Catholic elementary school. After graduating from Cathedral Prep. Seminary High School, he became the first member of his family to earn a college degree. While studying political science at St. Francis College in Brooklyn Heights, he met his wife-to-be, Yadira Moran, who is of Dominican descent. The couple married on November 20, 2009.
