Eric Swalwell blew $75K from defunct congressional campaign on booze, hotels and more, filings show

Disgraced former US Rep. Eric Swalwell burned through more than $75,000 from his congressional campaign during the first quarter of 2026 — despite ditching the race five months ago.

He splurged on hotels, meals, booze and even babysitters, newly released FEC filings show.

The sex pest had announced on Nov. 21, 2025, he was abandoning his re-election bid for California’s 14th Congressional District representing the San Francisco suburbs, embarking instead on a run for the Democratic Party’s nomination for governor.

Under campaign finance laws, the money raised prior to an abandoned bid can only be spent on limited uses — such as winding down office expenses, contributing to other candidates, and donating to charity.

But during the first three months of 2026, Swalwell spent $4,948 on hotels near home, including the Stanford Hotel in San Francisco and the private members club The Battery in the city, both in February.

He expensed another $5,963 on food and beverages, including $429 at Washington, DC microbrewery Blue Jacket; $330 at Buffalo Bill’s bar in Hayward, California; $310 at the famed Minetta Tavern in Greenwich Village, and $44 at Harry’s Reserve, a DC liquor store.

He dished out another $2,839 on UberEats, the FEC records show.

Swalwell also blew an astounding $10,298 on Uber and Lyft rides over the course of those three months — an average of more than $110 a day.

He was still raising money for his Congressional campaign while running for Governor?
