Erik Swalwell is running for the Democrat-Socialist spot
on the primary ballot for CA Governor. He is actually ahead in that
field, showing how thin the field actually is.
He
may have a legal issue. His "residence address of record" in CA is his
lawyer's office. In CA you can not run for governor unless you are an
actual resident of CA and have been so for 5 years. Swalwell has no
record of owning, renting or leasing a residence in CA in that period of
time.
The Republicans in
CA have filed with the CA Sec of State to exclude him from the ballot
on that basis. It isn't a completely bullshit issue and may actually
work.
(The rules for this are different than the rules for his residence for his seat in Congress.)
