Those times Eric Swalwell ran away from me and the filing deadline

08/09/18 • 18 min

People often ask me, "Why do you hate Eric Swalwell?" I don't hate him, but on Thursday's Steve Is Angry Podcast, I'll tell you about what he did to me and why I'll never give him a participation trophy. Never!

Also, in The Breakdown, one good thing about Swalwell is he took his destiny into his own hands and challenged an unopposed congressman. With the filing deadline coming Friday, 5 p.m., I'll detail the East Bay races that are, in fact, not yet races because nobody has bothered to challenge incumbents.
