RepSwalwell went to FL-13 to Anna Paulina Luna's district for a town hall since she won't hold one.

I know ya'll hate the link, but you really should listen to him and watch the people's reactions. He got a standing ovation. This was very well done. Thank you, Rep Swalwell, for going where Luna dares not to tread. She is a coward.

So
@RepSwalwell
went to FL-13 to Anna Paulina Luna’s district for a town hall since she won’t hold one. We need Democrats showing up and showing how to lead. Yes, we need people not afraid to jump in and be fighters.

I didn't know I could like Eric Swalwell even more than I already did, but I sure do!

The more of this kind of stuff happens, the better. People are upset and need somebody to listen to them, and they're finding who gives a damn when their GOP rep obviously doesn't. This is the kind of thing that could flip some seats in 2026!

Sorry about the link, I tried to find it elsewhere but I am not on Instagram, FB or reddit.

I love the guy too! Looks like his young son was there with him. Oh, the applause and standing ovation was a thing of beauty. I hope Luna Lunatica watched it!!!

I don't mind the link that much, honestly. As much as I would like to strap Eloon to one of his spaceships and yeet him into the sun, passing up the chance to watch something like this would be like cutting off my nose to spite my face!

Whitney Fox, also did a town hall in that district about a week ago.

I do think it's a winnable district.

Great that he's doing this. That some Democrats are doing this.

where Luna is too Chickenshit to hold a Town Hall.

She was all bravado when she wore an AR 15 lapel pin in Congress along with George Santos right after a School Shooting.

Florida-13: that barbarous frontier. These are the voyages of Rep Eric Swalwell...

His current mission:

To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life + new civilizations, to boldly go where few have gone before + maintained their integrity + good humor...

To ensure formation of a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare + secure the blessings of liberty + posterity to all, as established by the Constitution of the United States of America.

Wherever, he's a great person to have speaking out in the House for us.

Good VP material some day soon, maybe?

After the abuse I’ve seen heaped upon so many of the potential Dem POTUS candidates — and mind you, none have announced — I seriously don’t want to jinx Swallwell by mentioning someone out here thought he might be a rising candidate for (okay I’ll stop right there)

I’m serious. All anyone at DU has to do is say this is just us “asking about” and “examining” etc for a mighty big pile-on to take place, essentially trashing Dems in the public eye.

Suffice it to say, there’s a handful of California Dem Congressmen I came to deeply admire during the Impeachment and Jan. 6 hearings. One, Ted Lieu, was born overseas, so he’s not eligible to run for POTUS, but the others certainly are.
