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,”

I am pretty sure that you have to live there to be Governor, but then again that IS California.

Is this the swallwell that spilled his guts to fang fang? The swalwel who refuses to pay his school debts. The swallwell that managed to snag a million dollar property loan at 5 x his annual income, in spite of being deeply in debt? Is this really what dnc wants to represent as their,candidate?

You would think that a state as geographically glorious as California, would have excellent people running for the governorship. Not so. Instead we have the unbelievably bad tempered mean girl, Katie Porter, possibly the always idiotic mean girl Kamala Harris, and now the always embarrassing and none too bright Eric Swalwell. None of this is a surprise when you remember that as senators, we have the despicable and dishonest Adam Schiff and the clown (I'd love to see his test papers that "earned" him a Batchelor's from MIT, Methinks he was a DEI student passed along by foolish progressive professors) Alex Padilla. Unbelievable cast of subpar characters. I wouldn't hire any of them for any job, ever. Because character does count.

Hard to say of all the potential leftist listed in the article which one will completely ruin Californistan the quickest. The goal of the next goobenor of Californistan is to make it so bad that the other 49 states pay for its dysfunction.

At least it would get him out of Washington. And he might even be better than Katie Porter.

Nah…something else going on here. If he runs for governor, he would have to give up his Congressional seat. In that district, all you need for reelection is a D behind your name and a heartbeat. Why would he give up a sure thing for a primary fight?

I assume that there is a governor's residence so he can change his address.

Besides, he’s broke, owes a ton in student loans and has no network in place for fundraising—-otherwise why is he broke? Doesn’t make sense.
Or, maybe I just answered my own question. He needs the $$$$.

Swalwell can't run for reelection to the House and Governor at the same time so I say "Go for it!"
