Eric Swalwell, Tony Gonzales

Both Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales resigned from Congress in April 2026 amid allegations of sexual misconduct and pending expulsion votes. Eric Swalwell faced accusations from multiple women, including a former staffer, involving sexual assault, sending unsolicited nude photos, and graphic messaging. He denied the sexual assault allegations but apologized for past judgment mistakes. He was also subject to a Manhattan District Attorney’s investigation and a Department of Homeland Security referral regarding the employment of an undocumented nanny. Tony Gonzales admitted to an affair with a staffer who later died by suicide. He also faced allegations of sending sexually explicit text messages to another campaign aide. He was under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for these actions prior to his resignation.
