Battleground Democrats reroute Swalwell donations to charity amid misconduct fallout
A dozen Democratic candidates in pivotal House and Senate races say they will donate or redirect Swalwell-linked contributions from his campaign and his Remedy PAC to charities as he resigns amid sexual misconduct allegations, in an effort to distance themselves from his endorsements and avoid GOP attacks. Examples include Rebecca Cooke in Wisconsin, who donated her Swalwell funds to multiple charities, Jordan Wood in Maine, Roy Cooper in North Carolina, and Sherrod Brown in Ohio, with other candidates likewise pledging to send donations to food banks, shelters, or survivor support organizations.
