Eric Swalwell
- ️Tue Dec 12 2023
It's not something Democrats typically say about themselves, but Congressman Eric Swalwell was raised by Republicans.
His father was a cop, and his mother ran a small business. They brought him into the world in Sac City, Iowa, then raised him in Dublin, California, the oldest of four boys. His childhood was about family, sports, and hard work – from running a paper route at the age of 10, to sanding and installing window frames as a teenager. A Division One soccer scholarship allowed him to become the first in his family to go to college.
