Eric Swalwell faces scrutiny over an alleged sexual assault by a former staffer, sparking internal campaign turmoil. The revelation has brought renewed attention to his personal life and his wife, Brittany Watts.
Watts is the director of sales at the Ritz-Carlton Resort in Half Moon Bay, California, according to the New York Times. She received her degree from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Her parents, Dr. Kathryn L. Watts and H. William Watts III both practice dentistry and live in Columbus, Indiana.
The couple married in 2016 and have three children. Watts occasionally appeared at public events with Swalwell, but usually stayed out of the public eye.
According to Politico, Swalwell’s campaign “crumbled” amid sexual abuse allegations from a former colleague, and multiple staffers left.
