"I receive hundreds of death threats every year. My children are not allowed in the yard. That's why my address is private. And now Tom Steyer has not only put my life at risk but also my family's by releasing my address."
"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."
"Last Friday, Steyer's campaign released Rep. Eric Swalwell's personal address in Livermore. This self-indulgent political act was negligent and thoughtless. As the Congressman is taking on Donald Trump, Swalwell has had to implement extreme security measures."
During California's gubernatorial race, a dispute erupted between Democratic candidates Rep. Eric Swalwell and billionaire Tom Steyer. Steyer's general counsel Ryan Hughes sent a letter to the California secretary of state questioning Swalwell's residency eligibility, including Swalwell's personal address and encouraging reporters to verify his residence. Swalwell responded on social media, stating he receives hundreds of death threats annually and that his children cannot use their yard due to security concerns. He accused Steyer of endangering his family and criticized media outlets for harassing his neighbors. Hughes's letter argued Swalwell may not meet gubernatorial residency requirements and warned that the Trump Administration could exploit this ambiguity to question his legitimacy and threaten California's federal funding and emergency response capabilities.
