Eric Swalwell has spent his career in Congress defending American democracy from those who would destroy it. As an impeachment manager during Trump’s second trial, he argued that inciting an insurrection demands accountability. He exposed Russian interference, fought domestic extremism, and stood up to authoritarians abroad.

But Swalwell isn’t just focused on threats; he’s delivering results. He’s fought for gun safety after representing communities scarred by mass shootings. He championed student debt relief, expanded healthcare, and pushed for economic policies that help working families get ahead.

A former prosecutor and city councilman who grew up in a small Iowa town, Swalwell understands that protecting democracy isn’t abstract; it’s about ensuring the system works for everyone, not just the powerful and well-connected.
