"Today I learned shocking information about Eric Swalwell containing the ugliest and most serious accusations imaginable. My involvement in any campaign begins and ends with trust. I cannot in good conscience remain in any role with this campaign, and I am stepping down from it effective immediately."
"I've read the San Francisco Chronicle's reporting and I take it seriously. What is described is indefensible. Women who come forward with accounts like this deserve to be heard with respect, not questioned or dismissed."
Rep. Eric Swalwell's campaign for California governor is in crisis following sexual assault allegations from a former staffer. Key campaign figures, including senior adviser Courtni Pugh, have resigned, and prominent supporters have withdrawn their endorsements. Rep. Jimmy Gomez expressed his inability to remain involved due to trust issues, while Rep. Ruben Gallego called the allegations indefensible and regretted his previous defense of Swalwell. The situation has led to significant fallout within the campaign, impacting Swalwell's political future.
