, Tuesday, April 7, 2026. California gubernatorial candidate, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-CA answers a question from University of California, Davis, student, Patrick Mason, during a town hall meeting in Sacramento, Calif., Tuesday, April 7, 2026. "These allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the frontrunner for governor," he said in a statement. "For nearly 20 years, I have served the public -- as a prosecutor and a congressman and have always protected women," he added. "I will defend myself with the facts and where necessary bring legal action. My focus in the coming days is to be with my wife and children and defend our decades of service against these lies." The California Teachers Association, which will be meeting soon to discuss further steps, said in a social media post that it would no longer support Swalwell.“The allegations against Congressmember Swalwell are deeply disturbing," CADEM Chair Rusty Hicks wrote. "First, the stories of victims and survivors should be heard and believed. Period. Second, any person engaged in misconduct must take responsibility and be held accountable for their actions - including a Member of Congress and candidate for Governor. Finally, my call for all - repeat, all - candidates for Governor to ‘honestly assess the viability of their candidacy and campaign’ still stands. In fact, that call is more important now than ever before.”Pushback has grown at Utah Valley University over the university’s choice of speaker for the 2026 commencement address.Last month, the university announced SharCity officials in North Ogden are raising concerns after reports surfaced of residents using indoor culinary water to keep their lawns green following a dry winA motorcyclist was taken into custody on Thursday night after allegedly fleeing from police.The rider was caught after stopping for gas at a gas station near MThere was a large police presence in South Ogden after a motorcycle and truck collided.Agencies, including the Ogden Police Department, Weber County Sheriff's O
