FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEMENT FROM FORMER STAFFERS OF CONGRESSMAN
ERIC SWALWELL
Re: Support for Our Colleague and Calls for Accountability
We, the undersigned former staffers of Congressman Eric Swalwell, write today with heavy hearts and
unwavering resolve. The allegations reported by the San Francisco Chronicle and CNN are serious, credible,
and demand accountability. We stand unequivocally with our colleague, who showed extraordinary courage
in coming forward to share her truth. We believe her.
What has been described is not a political attack. It is the account of a young woman who trusted her
employer, who was targeted and exploited by someone in a position of power over her, and who has carried
this burden for years. The corroboration reported by both outlets, including medical records and multiple
witnesses, makes clear that this cannot be dismissed or deflected. No statement, no cease-and-desist letter,
and no claim of political motivation changes what our colleague experienced.
We call on all relevant law enforcement authorities to open a full and thorough investigation into the
allegations against Congressman Swalwell without delay. No one is above the law. Not a congressman. Not
a candidate for governor. No one.
We further call on Congressman Swalwell to immediately withdraw from the California gubernatorial race
and to resign his seat in the United States Congress. The people of California's 14th Congressional District,
and the people of this country, deserve representation from someone whose conduct reflects the values of
public service. Remaining in either role while these allegations hang unresolved is an insult to every person
who has ever worked for him, reported to him, or placed their trust in him.
To our colleague: you are not alone. We see you. We stand with you. We are deeply sorry that we did not
know what you were enduring, and we carry the weight of that with us. Your bravery in speaking out has
given voice to what many victims have feared to say, and we are grateful for your courage. We are appalled
by his actions and stand firmly with you and every victim who has come forward.
Justice is not optional. Accountability is not negotiable. We will not be silent.
