CA-GOV: Rep. Eric Swalwell cancels town hall in Palm Desert

(KRON) — Bay Area Congressional representative and candidate for governor, Eric Swalwell, canceled a planned town hall in Palm Desert on Thursday, KRON4.com has confirmed.

A representative from the candidate tells KRON4 that Swalwell was sick and had to cancel the event.

Swalwell has made headlines after accusations of inappropriate behavior with female staffers recently surfaced. A spokesperson for Swalwell’s campaign called the allegations a “false, outrageous rumor” spread shortly before the primary election.

However, none of the insinuations have been explicitly stated, and no news outlets, including KRON4, have verified any allegations.
