Candidate Swalwell?
Pete Stark was one of Congress' most liberal members. He beat another Democrat in a 1972 primary, claiming the incumbent had been in Congress "too long" and was then challenged-- and beaten-- himself on the same grounds 40 years later (2012). The victor in that tight race went to a moderate Democrat, Eric Swalwell, then a first-term member of the Dublin city council. Swalwell hadn't been born when Stark was first elected to Congress.
