Swalwell Will Field Questions
Swalwell’s campaign says Monday’s event — which will be held at the Fresno Convention Center — will give voters a chance to share their concerns and ask questions. In addition, he “will outline his vision to lower costs, expand economic opportunity, and make California a state where every family can thrive,” the campaign said in a news release.
In a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show, Swalwell said it makes him angry to see “Californians running through the fields where they work, from ICE agents or troops in our streets.”
Local small business owner Samantha Leon of Little Lion Photography will open the event and introduce Rep. Swalwell.
