Swalwell Suspends Campaign for California Governor

Monday, April 13, 2026

Eric Swalwell: "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."
