Rep. Eric Swalwell’s campaign has spent significant amounts on luxury items and international travel, including stays at high-end hotels such as the Burj Al Arab in Dubai.
The campaign also allocated substantial funds for airfare, private security, luxury car services, and luxury experiences.
“Swalwell’s committee spent nearly $90,000 on travel expenses during the last three months of 2023 alone, including at various other hotels such as 1 Hotel San Francisco, Austin Proper Hotel and the Times Square Edition,” the filings show.
Despite having only three paid staffers, the campaign’s travel and luxury expenses have exceeded those of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during the 2022 election cycle.

“According to its year-end filings, Swalwell’s committee reported three payments for nearly $1,700 in Dubai at the five-star Burj Al Arab Hotel, considered the city’s “most iconic hotel” and one of the tallest hotels in the world,” Fox News reported.
It was widely reported that Swalwell’s campaign spent tens of thousands of dollars on Just Dreaming Yacht Charters, a San Francisco agency that offers “relaxing and luxurious” private yachts for up to 40 passengers.
In October, his campaign spent nearly $17,000 more with the yacht company.
