A Personal Journey and Unique Name
Erica Rhodes’s story begins with a humorous and inspiring anecdote about her name. She recounted how her parents took an entire month to agree on her name, finally settling on Erica Simone Rhodes. Interestingly, her son was given a name after just a day of indecision—Connor McCormack—a nod to his Irish heritage. Erica’s journey into her career and politics is grounded in a deep commitment to genuine service and impactful change.
