Two state lawmakers jumped into race for Rep. Adam Schiff’s seat to represent SoCal’s 30th Congressional District.
“I believe that my progressive history of effective leadership on the environment, affordable housing, transportation and civil rights will make a difference in Congress, and I am excited to have this opportunity,” Friedman said in a statement announcing her candidacy.
Portantino, who has served on the state Senate since 2016 and will be termed out in 2024, also served on the state Assembly from 2006 to 2012. Before that, he served on the La Cañada Flintridge City Council and twice served as the city’s mayor. Melvoin, a former teacher, said he believes he could have further impact outside the classroom by working on legislation.
