I hope he gets a lot more visibility because I think he'd be far more effective than any of the other candidates based on his experience. I like his priorities (healthcare #1) and the fact that he's gone up against the Trump administration in court and won. Definitely need someone willing to do that, to fight back.

TBH, I was only lukewarm about Swalwell for Governor, and this was way before any of the sexual assault stuff came out. He just didn't seem like a good fit for Governor, sort of lightweight for lack of a better word. Xavier seems a lot more qualified due to his experience in so many areas of government.
