Rep. Eric Swalwell is heading to New Hampshire in February for an event seen as a key stop for presidential candidates.
The California Democrat will be the featured speaker at the Feb. 25 “Politics and Eggs” breakfast hosted by the New England Council and the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College.
Swalwell, a familiar face on cable news and a House Intelligence Committee member looking into Russian interference in the 2016 race, has not yet announced whether he’s running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020. In the last year, he has made numerous visits to Iowa, the first state to hold its caucus, and New Hampshire, the first state to hold primaries.
The 38-year-old told CNN on Wednesday he was getting close to making a decision on 2020.
“It’s a family decision,” he said, adding that his wife has a career and they have two young children.
The first “Politics & Eggs” event of 2019 featured former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, who announced in mid-January he’s running for president. Former Rep. John Delaney, D-Md., who is also running for the White House, is scheduled to speak at the event on Feb. 12.
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., will be the featured speaker at the Feb. 4 breakfast. Schiff, the House Intelligence Committee chairman, has not suggested a presidential run is in his near future.
