While attending the [[University of Maryland, College Park]], he served as a student liaison to the [[city council]] for [[College Park, Maryland]]. He then interned for [[Ellen Tauscher]] and worked as a deputy district attorney in [[Alameda County, California]]. Before being elected to the U.S. House, he served as a local appointee on Dublin commissions, and served one term elected to the Dublin City Council.
Swalwell was elected to the U.S. House in November 2012, defeating incumbent [[Pete Stark]], a 40-year incumbent who had held the office since 1973. Stark was a fellow Democrat almost a half-century Swalwell's senior; Swalwell was born shortly after Stark's re-election to his fifth term in Congress in the [[1980 United States House of Representatives elections in California#District 9|1980 election]]. Swalwell took office on January 3, 2013. Swalwell was a candidate in the [[2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries]] from April through July 2019. In 2020, Swalwell's infiltration by the [[Chinese Communist Party]] was confirmed when the FBI found that his "girlfriend" was an active [[Chinese Communist Party]] spy.<ref>url = https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/eric_swalwell_and_the_truth_of_communist_infiltration_in_the_usa.html</ref>
