Video: Congressional Candidate Eric Swalwell Interviewed on MSNBC

Democrat Eric Swalwell talked with MSNBC political reporter Chuck Todd on Monday morning. The interview starts at about the 3:20 mark of the video.

In an interview with MSNBC's Chuck Todd Monday morning, talked about why he believes voters shouldn't value Rep. Pete Stark's experience and how he will keep up with his opponent on the fundraising front.

On the morning show "The Daily Rundown," Swalwell told Todd there isn't anything wrong with experience but that Stark has become "disconnected" and "ineffective" as a congressman. A rhetorical line Swalwell has used a number of times in the campaign.

Todd asked Swalwell if he'll be able to keep up with Stark financially if the race stretches until November. The Dublin City Councilmember responded that he has raised the same amount of money as Stark since he entered the race in September and his campaign has raised over $280,000.
