Democrat congressman Eric Swalwell’s bid for California governor is facing fresh controversy after conservative filmmaker Joel Gilbert filed a lawsuit accusing Swalwell of misrepresenting his residency in state campaign filings. According to a Daily Mail report on the legal challenge, Gilbert alleges that the home address Swalwell listed on his election paperwork does not reflect his true residence, raising questions about whether Swalwell meets California’s residency requirements for candidates.

The lawsuit adds to a string of concerns raised by The Gateway Pundit in recent weeks, where Gilbert’s reporting has been featured extensively to show that Swalwell may be constitutionally and legally disqualified from running for governor. In those reports, Gateway Pundit has highlighted not just residency issues but also broader ethical and legal questions surrounding Swalwell, including why election officials should not certify his candidacy. As part of that coverage, Gilbert’s legal action seeks a court ruling to compel authorities to enforce candidate qualification rules before ballots are finalized.

Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign, officially announced as part of a crowded 2026 California race, has thus become embroiled in legal challenges that could sideline him before voters have their say. This lawsuit and the broader investigative effort by Joel Gilbert, featured repeatedly in The Gateway Pundit, frame Swalwell not merely as a controversial politician but as someone whose eligibility for office is being actively contested under California law. In addition, Swalwell was referred to the Department of Justice for investigation for possible mortgage fraud by Bill Pulte of the FHFA.
