Schiff

Adam Schiff has a proven track record of advancing climate solutions and being a dedicated champion for an equitable democracy as the U.S. representative for California’s 27th Congressional District.

Schiff was raised in California and earned a bachelor’s in political science from Stanford University and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. After law school, Schiff worked as a federal prosecutor in the office of the United States Attorney. In 1996, Schiff was elected to the California state Senate, representing the 21st District. Schiff was then elected to Congress in 2000, representing the 27th Congressional District. During his time in the House, Schiff helped pass the Inflation Reduction Act, has been a leading voice for corporate climate risk disclosure, secured millions of dollars for EV charging stations in Los Angeles, and pushed for the designation of the Sáttítla national monument. He has also advocated for court reform and protecting the rule of law, leading legislation to expand the Supreme Court and ensure the sitting president cannot interfere in criminal prosecutions against themselves.

As a senator, Schiff will continue efforts to fight climate change, support renewable energy, combat the wildfire crisis, and protect our democracy. During his two decade-long tenure in the U.S. House, he earned a 98% lifetime score on LCV’s National Environmental Scorecard.

Schiff joins the U.S. Senate to fill the seat of Senator Laphonza Butler, who was appointed to fill the remainder of the late Senator Dianne Feinstein’s term and did not run for re-election. Butler earned a 100% score on LCV’s National Environmental Scorecard in 2023.

“It’s time to create a new, green economy with millions of good-paying green jobs across California and the nation, so we can bring down energy costs, lower emissions and invest in our future.” – Adam Schiff for Senate
