Democratic billionaire Tom Steyer has picked up endorsements from three California state Assembly members who previously backed former Rep. Eric Swalwell, one of the first signs of how Swalwell’s support is redistributing itself as the party works to consolidate behind a candidate who can make the November ballot.
Assemblymembers Nick Schultz, Corey Jackson, and Tasha Boerner now appear on Steyer’s campaign endorsement page. All three had previously endorsed Swalwell, whose now-removed endorsement page on his campaign website listed them among more than a dozen state legislators supporting his bid before he suspended the campaign amid sexual assault allegations.
