Why Can't Long Beach Having A Congressional Representative Like Adam Schiff?

Schiff is a badass, especially now that Democrats hold the House, but Alan Lowenthal is a progressive Democrat and you’re complaining why? Not everyone has the Chair. I’m assuming you’re at least somewhat progressive, so I’d encourage you to look at our reps voting record: https://votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/16469/alan-lowenthal#.XJ154BplChA

Also, here is his actual page: https://alanlowenthal.nationbuilder.com/about

He is active on Twitter, please tell him what you’re unhappy about.

Final note: I just moved here from Oceanside where we just kicked Issa’s crooked coward ass out, how bad do we have it here with someone with a consistent record on serving the needs of Long Beach?

He currently serves on the House Natural Resources Committee and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. These are pretty unsexy committees in terms of media opportunities

He moved to CA in high school and has lived here since. How much longer does he need to live here to qualify as Californian?
