Federal Election Commission filings indicate that Senator Ruben Gallego's campaign spent $2,000 at the Fairmont El San Juan in Puerto Rico on June 7, 2021, coinciding with his wedding, while former Congressman Eric Swalwell's campaign spent $1,522.11 at the Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve Puerto Rico on the same day. This raises concerns over the legality of using campaign funds for personal events, as federal law prohibits such expenditures. Gallego has publicly distanced himself from Swalwell, who recently resigned following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, including sexual assault. Gallego expressed frustration over Swalwell's behavior, stating it has affected many people. The two politicians had previously maintained friendly relations, but the scandal has strained their connection. Gallego's wife, Sydney Barron Gallego, is also involved in his public life, often featured in his social media posts.
