Two anonymous sources close to the congressman told MSNBC that he has been considering a play for the Golden State governor’s mansion with a possible announcement as early as next week.
“Swalwell declined to comment when reached by MSNBC, but a source close to the congressman, who asked to remain anonymous to discuss the private discussions, said Swalwell allies had asked him to run ‘to fill a “fighter/protector” role’ in the mold of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom,” reported MSNBC.

This doesn’t surprise me one bit.
Why are net they called the Chutzpah Party?
I mean- Why don’t they just call themselves the Chutzpah Party?
The primary qualification being a full-on jerkball. He qualifies.

“Now that’s funny, I don’t care who you are.” 👍
This doesn’t sound like someone who should be very afraid of a well run competent Justice Department with good, qualified America First people. Because it isn’t and they aren’t.
No he is just brash. This time he needs to worry!
Article I, Section 2 of the US Constitution requires an elected member

<><>Swalwell was not and IS not an inhabitant of California, a state he represents.
<><>he declared his DC residence his “primary residence.”
<><>public record searches show no home owned or leased by Swalwell in California.

He’d fit right in with the rest of the outlaws down south.
Since Mexico has a more brutal and energetic criminality than the US, I suspect that Swalwell would soon end up on the bottom of the stack.
But, but he could need to move there!
He promises to run the best campaign the Chinese Communists can pay for.
