Meet Eric
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.
While attending the University of Maryland as an undergrad, Eric served as an intern on Capitol Hill for Representative Ellen Tauscher. After graduating from the University of Maryland School of Law, he became a prosecutor in the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, where he led the Hate Crimes Unit. In 2010, Eric was elected to be a city councilmember in his hometown of Dublin.
