The deadline to apply for a run for a Congressional seat was March 6. Swalwell didn't apply.

And, community notes to the rescue.

He announced his resignation from Congress

Swalwell is still on the ballot in California. His "suspending" his campaign doesn't change that.

He also has not, as of yet, submitted a letter of resignation, tho it might change in the coming days. He could, if he wanted, fester linger a while.

I wonder what other rotten apples will fall. Maybe some of the 150 or so congressmen who voted against full disclosure of sexual abuse settlements?

[jon-nyc]

I forgot about that. That would be nice.

The clerk read his official resignation today.

The video I saw showed at least two guys and at least one woman partying, but it all seemed consensual. Is there another video?

[Andrea B]

Yup. It looks consensual to me.

But Rep. Luna says, "Wait! There's more!"

“Provided allegations”. Curious word choice.

How so?

One makes allegations. One provides evidence.

Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) resigned from Congress on Tuesday amid allegations of financial misconduct that could have led to her expulsion later in the week.

The stunning announcement came just moments before the House Ethics Committee was scheduled to stage a public hearing to weigh potential penalties for the embattled Florida Democrat, who is facing federal charges over allegations of stealing millions of dollars from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help fund her congressional campaign.
