Eric Swalwell is a California Democratic congressman from the 14th District, former Intelligence Committee member and 2020 presidential candidate.

Eric Michael Swalwell represents California's 14th Congressional District, an East Bay district, as a Democrat first elected in 2012 and now serving his seventh term in the 119th Congress. An Iowa native raised in Dublin, California, Swalwell graduated from Campbell University and the University of Maryland School of Law, and worked as an Alameda County deputy district attorney and Dublin City Council member before unseating longtime Democratic incumbent Pete Stark in a notable 2012 primary. Previously serving on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where he was deeply involved in executive oversight and served as an impeachment manager in the second impeachment of President Trump, Swalwell moved to focus on other legislative priorities. In the 119th Congress, he serves on the House Committee on the Judiciary with subcommittee assignments on Courts, Intellectual Property, Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet, and on the House Committee on Homeland Security with assignment to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection subcommittee. Swalwell ran briefly for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. His legislative priorities include gun violence prevention, election security, cybersecurity, and federal oversight of executive branch activities.
