@RepSwalwell via ABCNews.com(OAKLAND, Calif.) — Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., isn’t giving up his day job, but he did take a stab Saturday as a Southwest Airlines baggage handler and Starbucks barista as part of the #InYourShoes initiative.
Working with Transport Workers Union of America members at Oakland International Airport, Swalwell loaded baggage onto the airline’s Boeing 737s.

Later in the day, Swalwell ditched the fluorescent safety vest and noise reduction earmuffs and headed to a Starbucks in Dublin, Calif., where he took part in “some barista basic training,” according to a tweet.
