Democrats panic over Eric Swalwell residency doubts as rival demands he quit race: ‘Red flags’
California Post ^ | 3/12/26 | Josh Koehn

Posted on 03/12/2026 10:32:15 PM PDT by Libloather

Rep. Eric Swalwell’s claims about living in a rented California home have raised “red flags” among members of the state Democratic Party after multiple neighbors at his supposed home of nine years have never seen or met him.

The Democrat frontrunner for Governor claims he’s lived since 2017 with another family in a 1,350-square-foot Livermore home owned by the sister-in-law of his political mentor, Tim Sbranti.

But five neighbors failed to identify Swalwell on Wednesday when The Post showed them a picture of the congressman and identified him by name.

“I’ve never seen him,” said Gita Prusty, who noted she’s lived on Michell Court for five years.

Lauren Antony, 19, lives in a house two doors down from Swalwell’s listed address, but she told The Post she had “never seen” him after being shown his picture.

When asked how long she has lived on the street, she said: “All of my life.”

Swalwell’s unusual housing arrangement in his East Bay district, as well as frequent campaign spending on luxury hotels in and around his district, have brought the congressman’s claims to California residency under fire.

The home on Wednesday had running shoes strewn across the doorstep, an upside-down container of cottage cheese was left in the yard, and faded patio chairs were placed near the doorstep next to a fire pit table.

I don’t see how this will affect Swallwell if Mad Maxine Waters can live indefinitely outside her district.

I think it is because he is running for governor, which has different requirements for eligibility than Representatives at the federal level.

Swalwell, a former prosecutor who maintains a license with the State Bar, filed a sworn affidavit under penalty of perjury claiming that he has been a California resident since 2006 and has lived in Livermore since 2017

There is no end to the entitled sleaze of these people. I like him staying in to help divide that Democrat vote as the best way to be rid of him.

RE: witnesses did not recognize him

“What did that horrible, ugly man do?”

“Ma’m he’s afflicted by Trump Derangement Syndrome in addition to having a particularly repulsive face. Known to have rages. We suggest if you do see him, call law enforcement and don’t approach him yourself.”

As always “I can get away with anything I want. I am a Democrat.”

Fang Fang is no longer available for comment (or anything else) having died in a plane crash in 2022. It was caught on video, the entire plane went into a deep dive after taking off and blew up on contact with all 132 on board killed. The government decided to not publish the results of the investigation for national security and public stability reasons. Never heard of the last excuse before.

Swalwell wasn’t Fang Fang’s only companion amongst the California legislators.

“That’s called Fraud! I am sure that California will prosecute him /sarc.”

I believe pasty face RAT billionaire Tom Steyer is helping push the non residency narrative. He is running for Gov. as well and despite shelling out 25 million in TV ads is running behind in the polls. Failed Senate candidate and mash potato thrower Piggie Porter probably is involved as well.

After this sleezeball moved on from CCP spy Bang Bang, he got married and has two young kids. Needless to say no one in that neighborhood has seen any of them as well.

The wife must be so proud of this charade. Let’s see if any “reporter” tracks her down in DC and asks her for comment.

He was banging a communist Chinese spy.

Why is he not in jail?

Why is he still holding any kind of a public office?

Just asking… For a friend…

Evan bayh and his twin sons and wife lived in a small condo as his home in Indiana. I looked it up.

He should have at least left some lights on to raise the electric bill. Lol
