California liberals are at it again, seemingly twisting the rules to benefit themselves. Now, Eric Swalwell, the guy who couldn’t get enough airtime pushing false narratives, is facing questions about how he spent your money.
- Swalwell faces FEC investigation.
- Claims he used campaign funds for personal childcare.
- Over $300,000 spent on childcare from 2021-2025.
Nanny-Gate: Swalwell’s Alleged Campaign Cash Grab
Investigative journalist Joel Gilbert filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Gilbert alleges Swalwell improperly used campaign funds to pay for childcare expenses. It’s a classic case of “rules for thee, but not for me,” and conservatives are rightfully outraged.
The FEC allows campaign funds to cover childcare only when it directly relates to campaign events. It’s supposed to cover times when the candidate wouldn’t be able to be at home due to campaigning.
$300,000 in Childcare: Campaigning or Babysitting?
According to Gilbert, Swalwell’s campaign disclosures show charges for childcare were made “all year round, week by week.” This suggests the expenses weren’t tied to specific campaign events, as required by the FEC. Over $300,000 was reportedly spent on childcare between 2021 and 2025 alone.
In 2025, Swalwell reportedly received $57,132.43 from his campaign for childcare. This included over $40,000 for a nanny. Plus, nearly $15,000 went to a daycare center.
A Lawyer’s “Misunderstanding”? Don’t Buy It.
Gilbert rightly points out that Swalwell is a trained lawyer. This makes it even harder to believe that he was simply mistaken about campaign finance rules. The FEC even issued a specific ruling about childcare expenses and campaign funds. The rules are there. He just chose to ignore them.
This isn’t just about misspent money; it’s about trust and integrity. When politicians abuse their power, it chips away at the very foundations of our republic. It’s time to hold these people accountable.
What message does it send to hard-working families when a Congressman seems to be living high on the hog, funded by donor dollars?
