Swalwell the Mouth Gets Bad News Over
Lawsuit and Allegations
A lawsuit claims Eric Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign involves more than a paperwork mistake, pointing to a conflict with California’s constitutional residency rules.
Conflicting Residences
The complaint highlights a filing that lists a “home address” appearing to be a lawyer’s office, while other documents name a $1.2 million Washington, D.C., mansion as his principal residence.
Legal Stakes
These filings now look like evidence, not routine errors. Election law and mortgage agreements require one truthful declaration of residence.
If his main home is Washington, D.C., his California bid could be invalid under strict residency rules.
Political Fallout
If Swalwell instead claims California as his residence, he faces scrutiny over alleged “mortgage fraud” tied to the D.C. property.
What once seemed a smooth campaign has become a high-stakes fight for political survival.
