The endorsement reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Our union is proud to have a rigorous and healthy democratic process where all present democratically elected representatives of the California Teachers Association State Council of Education, representing educators throughout the state, voted this weekend to recommend democratic candidate Eric Swalwell in California\u2019s 2026 Gubernatorial primary.<\/p>\n<p>During debate, delegates referenced Swalwell\u2019s commitment to working people, including most recently joining striking educators on the line in Dublin and San Francisco. Californians deserve a Governor who will walk the line alongside union educators when they are on strike for the schools our students and communities deserve. As a union of 310,000 educators, we have the power to ensure that our students and communities have a Governor who is committed to both protecting and fully funding public education, and other essential pillars in our society.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/t\/assets\/html\/tweet-5.html#2042742846130692300\" data-btlnk=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bradleyajaye\/status\/2042742846130692300\" class=\"bnn-if-tweet\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"260\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Swalwell has denied the women\u2019s allegations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a9d\"\/>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a9d\"\/>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"\/>\n<p class=\"paragraph-elevate inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph_elevate\">\u201cThese allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the front-runner for governor,\u201d Swalwell told CNN in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-elevate inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph_elevate\">\u201cFor nearly 20 years, I have served the public \u2013 as a prosecutor and a congressman and have always protected women.
