"As leaders of teams working for Eric Swalwell, we're horrified by the recent reporting in the San Francisco Chronicle and by CNN. We stand with our former colleague, and the other women who have come forward. We believe you should stand with them, too."
"The behavior detailed in these reports is abhorrent, beneath the dignity of those serving in public office and betrays the trust of all Californians."
"We recognize that not everyone in particular our junior staff can immediately forfeit their income and benefits without significant personal risk or consequence. Our responsibility now is to them."
Staff members from Rep. Eric Swalwell's office and his gubernatorial campaign expressed support for women who accused him of sexual misconduct, including rape. A former staffer reported that Swalwell raped her twice, prompting a probe by the Manhattan District Attorney's office. The statement condemned Swalwell's behavior as abhorrent and emphasized the importance of standing with the accusers. It acknowledged the difficult position of junior staff who may feel unable to leave their jobs due to financial concerns, highlighting their obligations to constituents and the community.
