Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is reportedly considering a run for California governor — a possible foil to frontrunner Katie Porter.
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.

As a criminal he is a member of a Protected Minority in California that is gradually reaching for the status of Protected Majority. as the normal people are trying to leave and the Illegal voters are streaming in.
Point taken. Be safe.
Is the trying to avoid an investigation by running for office????
I have seen the evidence that Eric Swallwell is colluding with Russia.
This is the fellow with the Chinese spy girlfriend. He is either dense/ stupid or he is, himself, a Chinese directed operative.
Sounds like quite a shxt show of low level leftist scum vying for king or queen of California.
I think he technically can run a campaign from prison.
He does not live in California.......
Fang Fang will be California’s first Chinese spy.
He ought to consider a run to the bathroom.
Great - they get a choice between an obnoxious pig and a treasonous patsy....
California’s best. Porter and Swalwell are like two turds rising and floating at the top of a septic tank.
So, Eric wants to be the next one to be top running dog down there in East Beijing (formerly known as Sacramento.)
Will fang fang bang bang be holding his leash ?
( Does she even have him potty trained ?, or is he gonna crap all over California’s rug from the northern border to the southern border)
Democrats, at least in California, should be called the Flatulizer party, they have been stinking up California forever!
He should make a run for Tijuana instead.
I have to get some popcorn ready. Eric’s slogan should be: ‘Eric for Governor. I can make New some look like Ron Reagan.’ ...😀
Oh, that?
It’s all forgotten!
When did that happen, again?
If I were a young man, I’d challenge him to a fight to demonstrate what a limp-wristed, coward he truly is!
Swallwell has a House seat....Schiff is the one who took over Feinswein’s Senate seat.
He has the Chinese spy vote wrapped up.
