Eric Swalwell, who’s running for California governor, has missed the most floor votes of any active member of the House, according to an analysis by CN&V. He’s even missed more votes than Arizona Rep. Raúl Grijalva, who died in March.

California voters are realizing that Eric Swalwell has abandoned them in Congress. He talks a big game about standing up to Trump, but time after time when the chips were down and the vote was close on the House floor, Eric was AWOL & MAGA won. He cares more about being on TV than doing the work.

Hey @ericswalwell.bsky.social where the fuck were you for the vote on HR 3492 today? You want my vote? I want YOURS! My family moved from everything we knew to California to be safe and you can’t be bothered to do your current job when it matters? Why would I want you to be my governor?

Eric Swalwell Has Missed More House Votes Than a Congressman Who Died 9 Months Ago Mediaite

Eric Swalwell missed more votes today, including one where his joining other Dems in voting no would have defeated the rule moving a number of GOP bills forward. He should resign so we can elect someone else to replace him. clerk.house.gov/Votes/202534... #CAGOV

Eric Swalwell did not respond to repeated requests for comment about his congressional attendance for our story earlier this week. Today, he came out to boast that a recent poll puts him in the lead for Ds running in the 2026 #CAgov race, but still tied w/ 2 Rs www.sacbee.com/news/politic...

BREAKING: Eric Swalwell has missed the most votes out of ANY CURRENT MEMBER of Congress this year. And he wants Californians to trust him to show up as Governor? No chance. #CAGov #WhereIsSwaldo

California Gov hopeful Eric Swalwell neglects job in House to mingle with celebs

California Sun https://www.newsbeep.com/us-ca/98308/ Good morning. It’s Wednesday, Dec. 17. Rep. Eric Swalwell goes AWOL from Congress. Meta tolerates lucrative scam ads…

🚨Eric Swalwell: worst attendance record of all 52 California members of Congress.🚨 Zero votes since launching for governor. @SacBee_News has the receipts.

UPDATE: HE DID IT. 🎉An uninterrupted streak of 49 straight missed votes has rocketed Eric Swalwell to #2 on the list of most missed votes in 2025, leaving Brittany Pettersen, the mother of a newborn, fully in the rearview mirror. (Via @RPyers on X) #CAGOV

The SPEED Act rule vote was so close Republicans almost lost it. Every Democrat voted no. Except Eric Swalwell. He didn’t vote at all. He’s asking for your vote for #CAGOV while refusing to cast his own.

Not my first choice for #CAGOV but Villaraigosa is about Eric Swalwell.

HE'S ABOUT TO DO IT... as Eric Swalwell's missed votes streak hits 45, he has rocketed past the late Raul Grijalva, past Donald Norcross (hospitalized for months in the Spring), and has now tied Brittany Pettersen, who gave birth in January, for the 2nd most missed votes for 2025. (via RPyers on X)

Eric Swalwell was the only member of the California delegation to miss Thursday's Trump impeachment vote. The. Only. One. He hasn't cast a single vote since announcing for #CAGOV. www.sacbee.com/news/politic...

BREAKING: In October, Eric Swalwell posted a video criticizing ICE agents: "Accountability is coming." Last week, Kristi Noem testified about those exact tactics. Swalwell skipped the hearing. He's on the committee. Accountability for who, exactly? www.sacbee.com/news/politic...

Read this. Eric Swalwell missed the vote to protect federal workers' union rights. He missed the NDAA vote. He missed the Trump impeachment vote. He skipped the Noem hearing. This is who wants to our governor? amp.sacbee.com/news/politic... #CAGOV #CAPOL

“Neither his campaign nor his congressional office responded to repeated requests for comment.” Eric Swalwell can’t even defend his own record. Worst attendance of any California member of Congress. He knows it. He just hopes you don’t. amp.sacbee.com/news/politic...

Exposed. Eric Swalwell: worst attendance record of all 52 California members of Congress. Bailing on holding ICE and Kristi Noem accountable, protecting union rights, and so much more. Zero votes since launching for governor. @SacBee_News has the receipts. www.sacbee.com/news/politic...

🚨Eric Swalwell: worst attendance record of all 52 California members of Congress.🚨 Zero votes since launching for governor. @SacBee_News has the receipts.

Eric Swalwell was already skipping votes when he posted this. He hasn't made one since. 28 missed votes. 100% absent since launching for #CAGOV. That includes a 210-209 vote. If he'd shown up, it's a tie and a piece of Trump's agenda fails. House Dems are fighting Trump. He's filming content.

We need a Governor who shows up to fight Trump, not one who is AWOL representing us in Washington. Eric Swalwell could have voted to impeach Trump this week & grilled Kristi Noem in a hearing since he was the #2 Dem on the committee. Instead, he’s chosen not show up for work for weeks.

🚨 REMINDER 🚨 Tomorrow the House is in session. Instead of representing CA-14 in DC, Eric Swalwell will be in Fresno asking for a promotion to represent us in Sacramento. He hasn’t shown up to his current job in a month. 40 straight missed votes. Why would we give him a new one? #CAGOV

Do we need to form a search party? California’s 14th Congressional District doesn’t have representation in Congress because Eric Swalwell hasn’t shown up to work in weeks.

Since launching his campaign for governor weeks ago, @ericswalwell.bsky.social has cast exactly ZERO votes in Congress. Not one. Dozens of missed votes & counting. California's 14th district deserves someone who shows up & fights Trump. If he can’t do that, why should he get a promotion? #CAGOV

Read this. Eric Swalwell will skip House votes Monday to hold a town hall in Fresno asking Californians to trust him to represent them. He’s already not representing them. 40 straight missed votes. #CAGOV

BREAKING: Thursday’s Kristi Noem hearing went viral. Protesters. A deported veteran on Zoom. Calls for her resignation. Eric Swalwell is the #2 Dem on that committee. He skipped it all. Then he went on CNN & squirmed as he admitted why. He hasn't shown up to work for weeks as he runs for #CAGOV

Eric Swalwell’s missed vote rate: 7.8% Nearly 4x worse than his colleagues when every vote counts. Even worse: that spike on the right? He’s been 100% absent since launching for #CAGOV. Every missed vote is a constituent in CA-14 who doesn’t have a voice in Congress fighting back against Trump.

40 straight missed votes on things like impeaching Trump, the NDAA, and protecting union rights. 100% absent since launching for governor. 25 days since he showed up to work. Eric Swalwell wants a promotion. Maybe he should try doing his current job first. #CAGOV

And 38 of the last 38. Swalwell has abandoned his job and his constituents. This week he missed votes on impeaching Trump, the NDAA, and protecting federal workers collective bargaining rights. Californians can do so much better for our next Governor.

BREAKING: Eric Swalwell is the #2 Democrat on the Homeland Security Committee where Kristi Noem was grilled yesterday, called a liar, & faced demands she resign. Eric wasn’t there. He hasn’t shown up to vote in the House in weeks. Watch him squirm when he admits why he skipped the hearing.

🚨 IMPORTANT QUESTION TO ASK ERIC SWALWELL 🚨 Why aren't you in DC doing the job voters elected you to do? They expect you to represent them & fight Trump. Just this week, you skipped votes on the NDAA & impeaching Trump, & skipped a hearing where Kristi Noem was grillled. You're all talk, no show.

BREAKING: Kristi Noem was asked how many veterans she's deported. She lied and said zero. Dems put a deported Purple Heart recipient on Zoom. Eric Swalwell wasn't there to see it. He's the committee's #2 Democrat. But he made time for CNN, where he had to admit he skipped it to run for #CAGOV

BREAKING: Rep. Bennie Thompson opened yesterday’s viral Kristi Noem hearing by calling her a liar & demanding she resign. Eric Swalwell, the committee’s #2 Democrat, didn’t even show up. But Eric found time to talk about the hearing with CNN, and sheepishly had to admit he wasn’t even there #CAGOV

Kristi Noem has terrorized our communities with ICE raids and deportations. Yesterday she sat in front of Eric Swalwell's committee. Dems grilled her. Called her a liar. Demanded she resign. Eric? Too busy to be there, too busy to vote, but not too busy to go on TV & try to take credit. #CAGOV

Yesterday, Eric Swalwell: - skipped an crucial hearing with Kristi Noem where he is a top committee leader - tricked CNN into having him on to talk about it His excuse? “I’m running for Governor.” The only running he’s doing is from his duty to his constituents to fight Donald Trump. #CAGOV

Where’s Eric? #CAGOV

Eric Swalwell’s missed vote rate: 7.8% Nearly 4x worse than his colleagues when every vote counts. Even worse: that spike on the right? He’s been 100% absent since launching for #CAGOV. Every missed vote is a constituent in CA-14 who doesn’t have a voice in Congress fighting back against Trump.

Eric Swalwell missed yesterday’s vote on impeaching Trump for threatening to execute Democrats. He also skipped the vote to protect federal workers’ collective bargaining rights from Trump’s executive order. It’s been 24 days since he last showed up to do his job in DC. #CAGOV

38 straight missed votes. 100% absent since launching for #CAGOV. Swalwell missed votes on union rights, the NDAA, & impeaching Trump for threatening to execute Dems. He missed a 210-209 vote he could have stopped. CA-14 deserves better. California will choose someone better as their next Governor

Hey Eric, did you tell them you missed today’s vote to impeach Trump for calling for the execution of Democrats? Or the 210-209 vote where you could have been the decisive vote to block Trump’s agenda? I’m guessing they’d rather you show up to work than show up for a photo op. #CAGOV

Donald Trump called for the execution of Democratic members of Congress. He’s pardoned January 6th insurrectionists. He’s deporting Californians & waging war on our state. Today the House voted on impeaching him. Eric Swalwell didn’t even show up. And he expects our votes for Governor? #CAGOV

"Not touching a single Californian on my watch"? You missed the House vote on impeaching Trump today. You've missed 38 straight votes in the last few weeks. You've completely abandoned the voters of CA-14. Hard to stop Trump when you won't show up, Eric. Do the job or resign. #CAGOV #CAPOL

The House voted against impeaching Trump today. Eric? Nowhere to be found. He's now missed more votes than a colleague who died this year, & he's closing in on one who was hospitalized for two months & another who gave birth. If he can't do the job, he should resign. #CAGOV
