Congresswoman McCollum Statement on Accusations Against Rep. Eric Swalwell and Other Members of Congress

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Betty McCollum issued the following statement on Monday: 

“The allegations reported late last week against Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) are deeply disturbing. Sexual assault, domestic abuse, and harassment allegations must always be taken seriously. Victims who step forward to share these stories show great courage. Perpetrators of this misconduct must be held accountable. Sadly, Rep. Swalwell isn’t the only member of Congress facing such allegations. Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) and Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) are also accused of serious misconduct, and like Rep. Swalwell, they must resign or be expelled,” said Congresswoman McCollum.
