Eric Swalwell spent over $75,000 from his defunct congressional campaign on personal expenses including hotels, food, and transportation
Former Rep. Eric Swalwell spent over $75,000 from his congressional campaign in the first quarter after ending his reelection bid in November to run for California governor instead. Campaign finance laws restrict how money from abandoned campaigns can be used, typically limiting spending to winding down expenses, donations to other candidates, and charity contributions. Swalwell has since suspended his gubernatorial campaign amid sexual assault allegations and announced his intention to resign from Congress.
