Your guide to California’s U.S. Senate race: Garvey vs. Schiff

LA Times  

Schiff, 64, has represented communities in Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley for nearly three decades. Schiff was an assistant U.S. attorney — a federal prosecutor — before being elected in 1996 to represent a Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena district in the state Senate, which he did for four years. Schiff served as chair of the House Intelligence Committee between 2019 and 2023, and led the first House impeachment of President Trump over claims that Trump had withheld military aid from Ukraine while pressuring leaders there to announce an investigation into his 2020 Democratic rival, Joe Biden. Later, Schiff served on the Jan. 6 committee that investigated an alleged conspiracy by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election, including with the assault on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters. House Republicans censured Schiff in 2023, alleging that he had “purposely deceived” Congress and the American public years prior by claiming there was evidence of collusion between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia.
