ELECTION 2026
14TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
—In this episode of East Bay Insiders TV, we sit down with CA-14 congressional candidate Matt Ortega for a candid conversation at a pivotal moment in East Bay politics.
—With Eric Swalwell’s sudden resignation upending the race, Ortega breaks down how the political landscape has shifted overnight—and what it means for voters heading into a rapidly evolving June 2 primary.
—Ortega also addresses a key question: why he has chosen not to run in the June 16 special election to fill the remainder of Swalwell’s term, and how that decision fits into his broader campaign strategy.
