California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a proclamation on Tuesday setting Aug. 18 as the date for a special election to fill the congressional seat vacated by <\/span>Eric Swalwell<\/span><\/a>, who resigned from Congress on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I, GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim and order that a special election shall be held on the 18th day of August 2026, within the 14th Congressional District of the State, to fill the vacancy in the office of the U.S. House of Representatives from said district resulting from the resignation of Representative Eric Swalwell,” the proclamation<\/a> declares.<\/p>\n

Members from both sides of the political aisle had called for Swalwell to resign or else face expulsion due to accusations against him of sexual misconduct and rape.<\/p>\n

On Monday, he announced<\/a> that he planned to resign from Congress.<\/p>\n

Swalwell’s resignation letter was read in the House on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegations made against me,” Swalwell’s letter read, in part.<\/p>\n
