Los Angeles, CA…Today, the Swalwell for Governor campaign announced the California Professional Firefighters (CPF) has endorsed his candidacy, delivering a major boost to a campaign that has been steadily building a network of support across the state. CPF Represents 38,000 Professional Firefighters and Emergency Medical Service Personnel; Says Swalwell Will Fight for Those Keeping Our Communities Safe
“Congressman Eric Swalwell is a proven leader who understands firefighters. He’s stood with us, fought for us, and delivered results,” said CPF President Brian K. Rice. “Throughout his career, Congressman Swalwell has consistently shown up for firefighters, pushing for stronger fire and emergency response in our communities and advocating for our members’ health and retirement security. We have Congressman Swalwell’s back in his campaign to tackle our state’s affordability crisis and protect our communities.”
“I’m proud to earn the endorsement of the California Professional Firefighters. I come from a first responder family, and I know what our firefighters and emergency medical service professionals face every day as they work tirelessly to keep our communities safe,” said Congressman Eric Swalwell. “As California’s next governor, I will ensure critical funding for wildfire prevention, emergency disaster response and support those who risk their lives on the frontlines every day. I am committed to protecting our firefighters’ retirement security, so we can take care of those who take care of us.”
The CPF’s endorsement adds to a growing list of statewide supporters, including U.S. Senator Adam Schiff, who announced his endorsement yesterday. Swalwell has the urgency, vision and strength to lower the cost of living and ensure our public safety officials have the resources they need to keep California safe.
ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS
California Professional Firefighters (CPF) represents 38,000 professional firefighters and emergency medical service personnel across the state with more than 180 local affiliates. Their mission is to protect and advocate for the rights, wages, benefits and working conditions of their members. CPF advocates for those protecting the public.
ABOUT CA GOVERNOR’S RACE
A February 2026 poll from the highly regarded polling firm EMC Research showed that Swalwell is the Democratic frontrunner for Governor. He continues to gain support from likely voters in the June 2 primary and leads Congresswoman Katie Porter and the other Democratic candidates.
Swalwell continues to gain support from elected officials, including U.S. Senator Adam Schiff. U.S. Representative Jimmy Gomez (D-Los Angeles) serves as the Campaign Chair, and Reps. Nanette Barragan, Adam Gray, Doris Matsui, Kevin Mullin, Jimmy Panetta, Dr. Raul Ruiz and Mike Thompson, have endorsed Swalwell — in addition to local elected officials across the state.
Swalwell, who represents California’s 14th Congressional District in the East Bay, has pledged to be a “fighter and protector” for California, focusing on affordability, economic growth and modernizing state government so it works better for everyone.
Current Governor Gavin Newsom is termed out in 2026, leaving this an open seat and a wide open race. Congressman Eric Swalwell is the only candidate currently in Congress and the only one actively standing up to Trump. The Primary Election is June 2, 2026.
ABOUT ERIC SWALWELL
Eric Swalwell was raised in Dublin, California, by a police officer father and a small business owner mother. The oldest of four sons, he worked paper routes and construction jobs before earning a Division I soccer scholarship and becoming the first in his family to attend college.

Absolutely… he is the best
Yeah, the guy who was kicked off the House Intelligence Committee, because he was banging a Chinese spy? Tell us all of his remarkable policies he’s talked about? (This should be interesting folks) 🙂
Yeah, Eric ROCKS until I read this.
“Mortgage records tied to Eric Swalwell’s purchase of 209 9th St. SE in Washington, D.C. underscore the residency questions now before the court. The District of Columbia Deed of Trust lists Swalwell and his wife as borrowers and incorporates standard Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac provisions requiring an owner-occupant to declare the property as a primary residence, including a clause identifying occupancy as a “material representation.”
Swalwell appears to have signed the loan documents under seal, affirming those covenants, and again swore under oath in a Security Affidavit that the D.C. property was his principal residence, explicitly acknowledging that false statements could carry criminal penalties.
“Because the California Constitution requires five years of California residency immediately before election as governor, Eric Swalwell would have needed to abandon his D.C. domicile as his principal residence, establish a new California domicile, [and] live in his California domicile as his primary home for five uninterrupted years,” said Gilbert. “He has not done any of this.”
Democrats motto “laws for thee, not foe me”
As a retired LA County Fireman..this comes close to treason. How stupid is the CPF?
Sure the firefighters want another democrat at the helm. This way the firefighters will become millionaires with all the overtime spent on fighting fires.
From the CA Post headline
Metro exclusive
“Judge clears way for mega lawsuit blaming LA and California for deadly Palisades Fire”
Get use to paying for Democrats horrific policies and corruption by paying more taxes…like our gasoline prices coming to a gas station near you.
FIREFIGHTERS ARE SOME OF THE BIGGEST TACKETEERS IN THE STATE, KNOW ONE WHO MAKES BETWEEN $ 10, and 12,000 a month has a second business he does on his days off?, you never know when he is really doing his first job, the CDF BOYS ARE DRIVING AROUND THIS WINTER, YES WINTER DOING WHAT? THE HILLSISIDES ARE TOTALLY GREEN, YOU COULDNT START A FIRE WITHOUT ROCKET FUEL AND HERE THEY R! Explain that one too me? YOU, AND THE REST OF THE TARDS DESERVE SEAWEED, HES A LOOSER, HES ALREADY PROVEN THAT! TURN ON KFBK RADIO TODAY BETWEEN 1 and 4 AND GET THE REAL LOWDOWN ON THE CORRUPTION IN THE TARD PARTY, NOT OPINION BUT FACTS, GO WAVE YOUR SIGNS ON THE HIWAY, YOUR BEING LED BY PEOPLE THAT WOULD LOVE TO OVERTHROW ( MY GOVERNMENT). EAT MY SHORTS TARDS!
Dude^^^^You really need to have your med regimen re-evaluated. See your doctor, explain your internal anger, rage, see if he or she can help you. You definitely need it. I’ve heard of TDS, but never SDS.
P.S. What is a “TACKETEERS”?????????????????????
P.P.S. What is a “LOOSER”?
Your mental health is paramount. Pay attention to it.
Good morning Pencil Dick.
What a world you live in where firefighters getting paid well is corruption but Trump getting $1.5 billion in crypto from the Saudis is fine.
So What!
Listen to radio KFBK out of Sacramento between 1 pm to whenever, facts not spin!
My tax money is involved in everything Fire Boys do, what goes to Trump or whatever is not my hard earned tax money, BIG DIFFERENCE!
Ok, then what about Trump suing the IRS for $10 billion dollars. That’s literally your tax money. Is that corrupt enough for you?
How many of you are aware of the bonuses UNION WORKERS on the train to nowhere make six figures, just got six figure bonuses for completing so many miles by who? Gavy
Six figures isn’t that much money these days. It’s like making $50,000 in 2000, if you adjust for inflation.
So $900,000 is really $50,000 in the year 2000 by your expert calculation? Okay Einstein, here’s you sign
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)╭∩╮
I heard that news yesterday on my commute home. A $100,000 bonus for ten miles of track. Its like the unions love Democrats when they blow Billions of taxpayer money and then try to hide what the money is spent on.
I can’t believe that the guy that was in Nancy Guthries home didn’t get the memo from the TARDS, no masks are allowed! My gosh where is the outrage over his boldness and defiance to wear a mask! Down to the light in Murphys and protest “ NO MASKS”
Well obviously it was a democrat wearing the mask, since most felonies committed in the USA are by the left, Hello?
LOSERS
Does anyone ever read the CALIFORINA GLOBE?
This obviously has news on CA, but also our Nation and the entire Globe.
Here’s a great article on other countries that attended DAVOS, on Climate Change.
While the world’s self-appointed guardians of the thermostat lectured on the moral imperative of lowering living standards, they turned the sky above Davos into a parking lot for ultra-luxurious aviation.
Reports from the World Economic Forum (WEF) revealed a grotesque spectacle of consumption that would make a Roman emperor blush. The globe’s most powerful individuals gathered to discuss global challenges while incinerating the Swiss atmosphere with exhaust emissions that dwarfed the lifetime output of entire communities.
This was not a conference. It was a week-long carnival of conspicuous consumption.
Data indicate that for every four attendees discussing the “existential threat” of “carbon” emissions, one private jet descended upon the scene. In a display of indifference that belied the environmental concern of conference participants, the number of private flights registered at surrounding airports spiked by 10% compared to the traffic seen in 2024 and 2025.
Nearly 20% of these aircraft departed from France, 13% from the United Kingdom and 12% from Germany. These are the very nations whose governments have spent the last decade deindustrializing economies and forcing citizens into energy poverty under the pretense of climate leadership.
The United Kingdom currently faces some of the highest electricity prices in Europe, and Germany is not far behind. They have forced a transition to unreliable wind and solar energy, justified by a metric known as the Levelized Cost of Energy. This index is one of the great deceptions of the modern age. It claims renewables are the “cheapest” form of power by isolating the cost of generation while ignoring the trillions required for backup batteries, grid expansions and fossil fuel plants that must run when the sun and wind refuse to do their part.
This misleading pricing model is used to convince consumers that skyrocketing utility bills are a necessary sacrifice. The Davos crowd demands you carpool to work yet refuses to plane-pool to save the planet.
The global elite seek to normalize a two-tiered energy system: Affordable, reliable, conventional energy for themselves, delivered via private jets and maintained through their personal infrastructure. Expensive, intermittent renewable energy for everyone else, sold on the basis of manipulated pricing indices and false accounting.
If the climate emergency were real in the way described – a time bomb threatening human extinction – would these leaders pack 3,000 people into hundreds of separate jets? Their behavior proves they do not believe their own rhetoric. They know the climate is not collapsing. They know CO2 is not a poison.
The ugliest face of the climate agenda is eco-imperialism. A single flight from New York to Davos may emit more carbon dioxide than an entire village in sub-Saharan Africa over a period of decades. Yet the Davos narrative portrays the development of African fossil fuels as a crime against nature.
Fortunately, the United States has managed to avoid the full brunt of this European-style suicide pact. Despite the aggressive push for a Green New Deal in the early 2020s, the current administration has rightly kept this industry-destroying policy at bay.
We must credit the U.S. Department of Energy for finally acknowledging what honest science has shown for years: There is no basis for class warfare disguised as climate policy. The current leadership has recognized that energy security is national security. By rejecting the medieval mindset that equates suffering with virtue, the U.S. has maintained its status as an energy superpower.
Let me be clear: I want our policymakers and the ultra-rich – and every person aspiring to be so – to use private jets. The technology is a triumph of engineering and efficiency, saving time in advancing diplomacy and driving economic activity.
The problem is not the machine; the problem is the message.
We do not need to ban private jets; we need to reject efforts to shackle the aspirations of the common man. We need to demand the same energy abundance for the single mother in Ohio and the farmer in India that a CEO in Davos enjoys.
PS~ That Gov Newsom went to and tried to disrespect his President Trump and Newsom was made a fool of himself and ended up in his corner of embarrassment like a kid who wet his bed.

Globe is pretty darn good. I really like this one, it was the New York Post, but now they are in CA. At the Super Bowl they caught Gavin Newsom coming in and his body guards said “there’s the CA Post” and rushed Newsom in to one of his private parties keeping the NY Post journalists away.
https://nypost.com/ca/
The NY Post is the LA Times worst nightmare because the Post actually shows the corruption of the one party rule in CA that has turned our state in to the worst financially run state, highest cost of living, taxes, corruption, least transparent, worst state for businesses, #1 in quality of life, most in debt, close to the worst in schools, #1 in unemployment, #1 in homeless, #1 in people leaving, #1 in businesses and Billionaires fleeing, #1 in the least educated state of adults aged 25 plus. We are just #1 but for all the wrong reasons thanks to the voters and democrat politicians.
You^^^^should team up with the Billionaires fleeing. Just leave you whining dog.
Smallswell for Guv? Oh my, Commiefornia is done.
