East Bay Congressman Eric Swalwell announced Thursday that he will run for California governor next year. Swalwell, who frequently challenges President Donald Trump and helped manage the 2021 impeachment case against Trump, announced his bid for governor on Thursday night. “The President has militarized our streets, canceled cancer research, zeroed out clean energy climate projects, and is chasing our immigrant friends and neighbors through their workplaces, kids’ schools, and houses of worship,” Swalwell said. “California’s next governor has two jobs. One, keep the worst president in history out of our homes, out of our streets, and out of our lives.” The second job is to bring “a new California,” he said. “It’s great that we can say we are the fourth largest economy in the world. But what does that mean if you work your ass off and don’t have a stake in it? Nothing.” He said his priorities for the state are homes and jobs. Swalwell, 45, represents California’s 14th congressional district, covering most of eastern Alameda County and part of central Contra Costa County. He ran for president in 2020 before dropping out to endorse Joe Biden. The field of gubernatorial candidates is steadily growing to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, who terms out next year. Earlier this week, billionaire activist Tom Steyer threw his hat in the ring. Other Democrats in the running include former Rep. Katie Porter, former state controller Betty Yee, former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

Oh please.. another poison pill for Ca

A pack of hot dog buns would be a better choice than Swalwell. He’s dishonest, feckless, and dumb.
I hope he reads Claycord. I’m sure comments will be 20-1 not in his favor.
Oh HELL NO, he was overtly involved with a Chinese spy. He shoiuld be in federal prison on treason charges.
Isn’t this the same Dude who said “We have Nukes”…….when addressing people who believe in the 2nd Amendment?!?!?
Absolutely true. You can be sure that, if elected., he’ll try to ban ALL firearms.
He’s the worst. Complete liar.
He is the epitome of “Smarmy”
Dr J…..Many years ago I mispronounced the word “epitome” to a small audience off written notes, as you might imagine the way I mispronounced it, and ever since, that word gives me the creeps. My dad once mangled “misled”, using a hard “I”, as if “misle” is a word, so he and I always had that bond.
Fox Paws happen.
BTW -“misle” is a word …. I got curious and looked it up.
Yes. Therefore, he’d fit right in with all he other feckless and corrupt state politicians, from Greasy Garvin on down.
He can try, … but let’s see if Steve Hilton has a chance.
Now that whole concept of swalwell running for this office is probably one of the funniest things I have heard in a while. It is preposterous. I’d bet beach katie porter would stand a better chance than this CCP’s fang fang tool. Ha ha, it really is funny.
Swalwell?
He’s dumber than Caligula’s horse.
Another corrupt Democrat politician. If he gets elected he could have the Chinese spy he had an affair with be his lieutenant governor.
The late Congressman Pete Stark would be proud of this guy.
Awesome another pos to follow in NewSCUM’s footsteps. Vote him in everyone we don’t have enough crime we need more crime please vote this pos in!!!
People are suckers if they vote “dem” again. But then I think they depend on newcomers who tend to vote for the incumbent. Focus on them and educate them. Otherwise rename the state “Follyfornia”.
Captain, California voter ballots are offered in 27 different languages.
I might as well register my dog to vote.
Too late, that dog’s likely been voting Democrat for years.
They probably ballot harvest at the Humane Society.
And the Neptune Society………..
Eric you slumber POS you are a treasonous pile of expletive!!! You Bang Bang Fang Fang selling American Intel to a Chinese spy LMFAO you are absolute SCUM!!!
That his district includes a tiny piece of Contra Costa doesn’t make him a Contra Costa anything. He lives in Dublin.
According to his mortgage claims, his primary residence is in DC. So who knows wheee he “lives.”
I think he’s under investigation for mortgage fraud.
Republican Chad Bianco, the sheriff of Riverside County, is running for governor of California too.
Of course CA. has the most oblivious, Socialist voters West of New York City so it’s unlikely he can win…. still, there is a chance.
Maybe Swalwell will cut another big fart during a debate?
For those of you unfamiliar with that story here is an in-depth analysis:

Is this a joke?
Well…… he announced his candidacy on Jimmy (crybaby) Kimmel’s show which is rumored to be a comedy show…. so maybe it is a joke!
Sorry Barb, you probably were referring to the breaking wind subject… (der).
No, not a joke it was legit, it really happened and Eric tried to explain it away with an obvious lie that was actually more embarrassing than his pants popper was.
Maybe we should all attend his rallies and bring Whoopie cushions to heckle him with.
Which candidate will do less damage than His Imperial Majesty
Emperor newsom.
.
Considering what democrat party has done to this state,
no democrat should be elected.
Has anyone checked to see if any chinese college students
are assisting in any candidate’s election campaign.
White male, go away. BTW, nice job managing the 2021 impeachment case. LOL What will your campaign mailers say, “Trump Bad, Me Good”?
The bear knows

Earlier in the week Swalwell demanded that Democrats go on offense………..
