Eric Swalwell
Drops Out of California Governor Race
…Amid Sexual Assault Accusations
Congressman Eric Swalwell‘s run for governor of California has come to a screeching halt … amid allegations of sexual assault.
I am suspending my campaign for Governor.
To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.
I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.

While his gubernatorial ambitions are dashed, Swalwell did not address whether he would step down from Capitol Hill altogether.
She says she does remember a snippet of that evening … when Swalwell was on top of her. She says she tried to push him off, but he kept going anyway.
