Rep. Eric Swalwell, who has been serving California's 14th district since 2013, composed a series of tweets touching on significant social and political issues. Swalwell, known for his advocacy and political engagement, shared his thoughts on various matters via social media.

On April 1, 2025, Swalwell praised his colleague, Senator Cory Booker, for a remarkable act of perseverance. In his tweet, Swalwell stated: "Thank you, @CoryBooker, for showing the country what courage looks like. Speaking truth for over 24 hours—standing up for Medicaid, civil rights, and the dignity of every American. Your voice echoes the power of the people. Keep going." This expression of support highlights Swalwell's alignment with Booker's advocacy efforts and their shared commitment to issues like Medicaid and civil rights.
