An effort to recall Eric Swalwell from his position on the city council of Dublin, California, was launched in July 2012. Recall supporters never filed any paperwork, and as of October 2012, the recall effort was considered to be abandoned. As of October 2012, no recall paperwork had been filed. If recall paperwork had been filed, recall organizers would have needed to submit signatures equivalent to 20% of the votes cast in the last city council election. Swalwell's election to the U.S. House in November 2012 meant that Swalwell vacated his city council seat, ending the prospect of a recall.

On June 5, just hours after casting a vote for himself in the East Bay's 15th Congressional District primary against incumbent Congressman Pete Stark, Dublin City Councilman Eric Swalwell voted to approve a no-bid, monopoly contract to a local garbage company while members of that firm's upper management sat in attendance. Swalwell, however, never publicly disclosed that those four top-level employees of Amador Valley Industries were large contributors to his congressional campaign in the months before the deal. Also in attendance was a consultant for the garbage company who not only had recently donated to Swalwell, but also has a history of violating campaign finance laws.
