Opinion: Laura Friedman: Why I’m running for Adam Schiff’s House seat
The legacy Adam Schiff leaves behind makes one thing abundantly clear: the diverse and vibrant communities of California’s 30th District deserve a representative who knows the unique needs and challenges of each neighborhood, and who is ready to hit the ground running.
While volunteering as a Glendale City Design Review Board Commissioner and for the L.A. Conservancy, I was unexpectedly diagnosed with breast cancer. I went through many of the same emotions as other people facing serious disease, including questioning the impact that I had made on the world. After my treatment I decided to run for the Glendale City Council, despite the city having had only five women on council in its nearly 100-year history.
In 2016, I was first elected to the Legislature, where I proudly serve today, representing Glendale, Burbank and large portions of Los Angeles that comprise roughly 60% of the 30th Congressional District.
