Minnesota State Representative Eric Lucero recently shared a series of statements on social media addressing education funding, immigration policy, and the advancement of artificial intelligence. Lucero’s posts reflect his ongoing criticism of Democratic policies and raise concerns about current political and technological developments.

On July 15, 2025, Lucero commented on educational outcomes in relation to government spending: "Democrats spent billion$ on education funding including policy force-feeding harmful transsexual / DEI ideology in the classroom. Yet, 2/3+ NOT able to read or do basic math at grade level." He criticized what he described as the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within schools while questioning their effectiveness in improving student performance.

Later that day, Lucero expressed disapproval toward media coverage and political discourse surrounding immigration. In a post published at 15:18 UTC, he wrote: "SIMPLY DISGUSTING : What motivates corporate media and Democrats (redundant) to deliberately convolute ILLEGAL vs. LEGAL immigration? Law enforcement is NOT targeting lawful immigrants." Lucero accused both corporate media outlets and Democratic politicians of blurring distinctions between legal and illegal immigration.

In a third statement posted minutes afterward at 15:27 UTC, Lucero addressed concerns about technology: "Dark, dangerous, damaging reality of AI advancement." The post did not elaborate further but highlighted his apprehension regarding artificial intelligence.

Eric Lucero is a Republican member of the Minnesota House of Representatives known for his conservative positions on social issues and technology policy.
