As the eight-term Republican prepares to retire at yearâs end he reflected on his time as the District 11 U.S. representative and his plans for the future all the while being hailed with words not always used to describe successful politicians in our time.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has not been having a good December ever since it was revealed he appears to have been the target of at least one Chinese spy during his early political career.
