I'll look that up for you.
Let me get the most current details, since one source indicates the seat may be vacant.
Here's the current situation for California's 14th Congressional District:

**The seat is currently vacant.** 
The district is currently vacant following the resignation of Eric Swalwell, a Democrat, who had represented the district since January 2013.
 
Representative Swalwell resigned on April 14, 2026.


A special election is underway to fill the seat:
- 
The 2026 California's 14th congressional district special election was held on June 16, 2026, to fill the vacant seat left by Eric Swalwell.

- 
No candidate received a majority, so a runoff will be held on August 18 between Aisha Wahab and Melissa Hernandez.


In the meantime, 
by federal law and the Rules of the House of Representatives, the employees of the former Representative continue to staff the offices of the congressional district under the supervision of the Clerk of the House of Representatives.
 
Both the Washington, DC, office and the district office of former Representative Eric Swalwell continue to serve constituents.


So, until the August 18, 2026 runoff is decided, CA-14 has no sitting representative—though the district offices remain open to help constituents. If you need constituent services in the meantime, you can still contact the district office, which is being staffed under the Clerk of the House.

Would you like the contact information for the CA-14 district office?

Ground truth states Eric Swalwell is the current representative, but the response fabricates a resignation, special election, and runoff between candidates, contradicting the authoritative answer.
