Swalwell suspends campaign for California governor after he was accused of sexual assault

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell has suspended his campaign for California governor following sexual assault accusations that he continues to deny. Swalwell said in a social media post Sunday he’s suspending his campaign but will fight what he called “serious, false allegations" against him. The San Francisco Chronicle first reported on a woman’s allegations, which The Associated Press has not verified. The woman told the Chronicle, which didn’t name her, that Swalwell sexually assaulted her twice, while she was too intoxicated to consent. His exit from the race comes amid a messy and crowded primary campaign in which he had begun to emrege as a leading contender.

Question for folks clued in to CA gov polls:

If, say, 50% of Swalwell's polling numbers swing over to Porter, does this save us from a 2 Republican runoff?

If you live in California, you have probably been getting spammed a lot lately on multiple channels about a ballot initiative to “protect retirement from new taxes” or another one pushing “spending transparency”.

You will perhaps be unsurprised to learn that these initiatives have nothing to do with retirement or transparency, and everything to do with billionaires attempting to defeat a proposed tax on the ultra-rich.

Follow the money. “Cui bono?”

🚒 California police and firefighter unions are pushing for a new retirement perk.

A proposal would allow CHP officers and Cal Fire firefighters to collect a large lump-sum payout when they retire in addition to their pension.

🗳️ President Donald Trump has endorsed Assemblymember James Gallagher in the race for California’s newly redrawn 1st Congressional District — a seat that now includes inland Mendocino County communities such as Ukiah, Willits, Boonville and Covelo.

The endorsement drew an immediate response from State Sen. Mike McGuire, one of several Democratic candidates in the race.
