Adam Schiff

About Schiff​​​​​​

Adam Schiff has lobbied his way into our Hanukkah Hero list this year.

Adam Schiff is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff is currently in his 10th term as a congressman, having served since 2001.  

Schiff is a vocal supporter of Israel and urged President Obama to veto UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which condemned Israeli settlement building in the occupied Palestinian territories as a violation of international law.  In 2014, Schiff was the first member of Congress to participate in the AIDS/LifeCycle, a seven-day charity bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise awareness and funding to fight HIV and AIDS.  

He represents us on Capitol Hill, and so consider picking him as this year’s Hanukkah hero.
