Crowded Governor’s race moves forward without Swalwell as candidates face off in Sacramento

The race for California governor is moving ahead without Eric Swalwell, as a crowded field of Democratic contenders gathered for the Nuestra Voz '26 Forum in Sacramento Tuesday night. Despite his official resignation from Congress just hours before the event, Swalwell’s name was not mentioned during the discussion. Instead, candidates stayed focused on issues impacting California’s Latino community, the central theme of the forum.
