2014 Congressional candidacy
Eggman is seeking the Democratic nomination in California's 10th congressional district. The incumbent congressman is Republican Jeff Denham.[5] Eggman cited Denham's votes during the United States federal government shutdown of 2013 as a key motivation in running for Congress.[6][7]
