U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell Cancels Dublin Town Hall

DUBLIN, CA — U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell has postponed the town hall originally scheduled Saturday, Dec. 7 at Wells Middle School in Dublin for constituents of the 15th Congressional District, which includes the Tri-Valley area.

Swalwell announced Tuesday that he needed to remain in Washington, D.C. for matters related to the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, but would reschedule as soon as possible.

He asked that constituents watch his website, Facebook page and keep an eye out for emails from his office.

Swalwell had planned to take questions and update attendees on legislation recently passed by the Democrat-controlled U.S. House, including bills to raise minimum wage, lower prescription drug prices, advance LGBTQ equality, end gun violence, according to a press release from his office. Many of these efforts died in the Republican-controlled Senate.

Swalwell also said in the press release that he wanted to discuss "holding an out-of-control President accountable."
