"If elected, questions of legitimacy would hang over Swalwell, allowing the Trump Administration to sow doubt, exploit the ambiguity, and advance its perverse agendas. The Trump Administration could question Swalwell's legitimacy as Governor and, therefore, imperil California's receipt of federal funds, the state's ability to deploy the California National Guard, and act in emergencies."
"Swalwell appears to 'live in California on paper only' as the governor race heats up, making him unlikely to meet the basic residency requirements to run for Governor. Hughes pointed out that Swalwell purchased a home in Washington D.C. which is listed on a 2022 deed of trust and that deed records did not indicate he has any ownership in the Livermore home."
Tom Steyer's legal team questions whether congressional candidate Eric Swalwell meets California's residency requirements for the gubernatorial race. Steyer's attorney alleges Swalwell lives in California only on paper by renting a single room in a Fresno-area home owned by relatives of his former mentor. Records show Swalwell owns property in Washington D.C. but holds no ownership stake in the California residence. The attorney warns that if elected, questions about Swalwell's legitimacy could allow the Trump administration to undermine his governorship, potentially jeopardizing California's federal funding and emergency response capabilities. Steyer's legal team requested the Secretary of State enforce dormant residency requirements and conduct legal proceedings to determine Swalwell's eligibility.
