WASHINGTON — Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) apparently used his DC home, which is at the center of a mortgage and tax fraud investigation, in a video announcing his California gubernatorial campaign.
Swalwell, 45, kicked off his run for the Golden State governor’s office on Thursday night with a minute-long campaign video that pledged to “keep the worst president in our history out of our homes, out of our streets and out of our lives” and lower the cost of living.
But X users quickly saw something was amiss and began comparing photos of the congressman’s $1.2 million Victorian-style bungalow in the nation’s capital with screenshots from the campaign spot, leading some to conclude that Swalwell had filmed a portion of his promise to “build a new California” — in DC.
“Gavin Newsom’s film credits couldn’t even lure Eric Swalwell into California to shoot [h]is campaign launch video for governor,” one X user snarked in response to the post highlighting the similarities between public photos of the home’s interior before it was purchased and screenshots from the congressman’s video.
The California Constitution requires candidates for governor and lieutenant governor to have maintained residency for at least five years in the state, but Secretary of State Shirley Weber’s office has said its “legal opinion” is “that this provision violates the U.S. Constitution and is unenforceable.”
A Post review of public records did not show Swalwell currently owning any property in the Golden State and, in fact, revealed that the congressman hasn’t been associated with any addresses there for at least a decade, around the time he began gearing up to run for Congress.
