Rep Swalwell returns mis-delivered gift card to rightful owners.

This morning he tweeted:

"Does anyone know an Emma and Erick living in a basement apartment in DC? A gift card was sent to them but arrived in my DC mail. Only return info I have is “Grandma.” I’d like to get it to them!"





And about four hours later:

"Shoutout to my lovely grandma for accidentally getting
@memmabrain
and me the chance to meet one of the best Members of Congress around
@RepSwalwell
and get our sweet Amazon card back! People are good!"

The pics of him and his kids (who all look JUST like him) are so sweet.

for thousands of years. They just don't get the press the bad guys get.

Rep. Swalwell is definitely a member in great standing of the Good Guys Club though.

It seems strange that the Post Office would mix this up, unless maybe they're on the same block.

It's nice that Eric Swalwell took the time to find them.

You just KNOW that he is the best representative of his constituents that he knows how to be. Massive kudos for not just this gesture, but everything he does.
