Read the full statement to KRON4 from senior staff on Swalwell's team below

[Quiet Em]

“As leaders of teams working for Eric Swalwell, we’re horrified by the recent reporting in the San Francisco Chronicle and by CNN.

“We stand with our former colleague, and the other women who have come forward. We believe you should stand with them, too.

“The behavior detailed in these reports is abhorrent, beneath the dignity of those serving in public office and betrays the trust of all Californians.

“We also understand that we lead teams who need guidance and stability now, more than ever. We are focused on supporting our colleagues during this challenging time.

“Any decision of staff members to remain in their roles in the interim should not be viewed as support for Eric Swalwell. We recognize that not everyone — in particular our junior staff — can immediately forfeit their income and benefits without significant personal risk or consequence. Our responsibility now is to them.

“We, more than he, understand that we have obligations to the people we lead and to the constituents of California’s 14th Congressional District. Those of us that remain on staff do so for the sole purpose of ensuring that as many of those obligations are fulfilled as possible.”

– Senior staff, Office of California’s 14th Congressional District

– Senior staff, Eric Swalwell for Governor 2026

1. With each passing hour, the situation worsens

When your staff publicly announce that they have lost their faith and trust in you, that’s game over.

(Note: this is NOT a state by the four staffers who resigned recently, these are the remaining staff still working for Swallwell)

Swallwell has got to go- he must withdraw from the governors race, and resign his seat in congress.

2. Why aren't there names associated with that statement

Who are the ‘senior staff’? I have heard that senior staff members resigned. Who they are can’t be a secret. It’s kind of weird their names aren’t reported.

Does the article reveal names and I missed it?

3. Names left off of publication because of fear of retribution.

From a Politico article on the staffer statement

The statement was provided to POLITICO by a senior staffer with Swalwell’s campaign who was granted anonymity because they feared reprisal for speaking out. They attributed it to more than a dozen unnamed staffers in both his campaign and congressional office. It comes after at least four departures Friday from the lawmaker’s campaign for California governor, which has been in a tailspin since the accusations surfaced.
