In 2025, the U.S. reported its highest number of measles cases in 30 years, driven mostly by large outbreaks in Texas and South Carolina.

She said she woke up alone in his hotel room with vaginal bleeding and bruising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swalwell is also facing possible criminal investigations in both New York and California. The Manhattan district attorney’s office said Saturday that it is looking into the alleged 2024 assault, and the Alameda County district attorney’s office said over the weekend that prosecutors there are \u003cem>“\u003c/em>evaluating whether any alleged criminal conduct occurred within Alameda County.” And on Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-04-14/eric-swalwell-rape-drugged-drink-beverly-hills-allegations\">said it is investigating Drewe’s allegations.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What happens to Eric Swalwell’s seat now?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Swalwell represented \u003ca href=\"https://swalwell.house.gov/14th-district/about-district\">California’s 14th Congressional District,\u003c/a> which includes the East Bay cities of Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore and Hayward.

She said she woke up alone in his hotel room with vaginal bleeding and bruising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swalwell is also facing possible criminal investigations in both New York and California. The Manhattan district attorney’s office said Saturday that it is looking into the alleged 2024 assault, and the Alameda County district attorney’s office said over the weekend that prosecutors there are \u003cem>“\u003c/em>evaluating whether any alleged criminal conduct occurred within Alameda County.” And on Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-04-14/eric-swalwell-rape-drugged-drink-beverly-hills-allegations\">said it is investigating Drewe’s allegations.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What happens to Eric Swalwell’s seat now?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Swalwell represented \u003ca href=\"https://swalwell.house.gov/14th-district/about-district\">California’s 14th Congressional District,\u003c/a> which includes the East Bay cities of Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore and Hayward.
