Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is focusing more on his accomplishments for Californians in the House and less on his work investigating former President Donald Trump in the competitive contest for outgoing Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) seat.
Despite rising to prominence as a leading anti-Trump voice, Schiff has largely shifted his focus to bread-and-butter issues as he traverses the Golden State on the campaign trail. Schiff, who represents the Burbank, Glendale, and Hollywood areas of Los Angeles, California, in the House, is in an expensive fight for Feinstein’s coveted Senate seat.
“I’ve felt, ever since I got to Congress, that if my constituents don’t know what I’m doing, it’s not on them. It’s on me,” Schiff said in an interview published Thursday. “With respect to some of the national challenges, like the challenge to our democracy, there’s so many people out there putting out bad information. I think it’s very important to be a great explainer and put in context what’s happening in the country.
Schiff boasts an impressive fundraising network and the support of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , a powerhouse in California politics. What he lacks is a strong connection to the northern and central parts of the state, something Lee has in her favor. He also lacks a national profile outside of his Trump battles, despite leading the Intelligence Committee and developing an impressive national security background over the course of his congressional career.
