Congressional Democrats are distancing themselves from Eric Swalwell's AI startup, Findraiser AI, following sexual assault allegations against Swalwell. Over half a dozen Democratic campaigns that previously used Findraiser AI's services have ended their relationships with the company. The startup had been pitched by Swalwell and his former chief of staff to Democratic lawmakers and staffers, potentially violating House Ethics rules. Findraiser AI has earned over $70,000 since March 2025, including contracts with Democratic Senators and Representatives. Spokespersons for several Democratic campaigns confirmed they have cut ties with the startup, citing the allegations against Swalwell. The move comes as Democrats in battleground races are distancing themselves from Swalwell, with some planning to donate contributions from Swalwell and his PAC to charity.
