Sherman’s public service career includes serving on the
California State Board of Equalization from 1991 to 1996. He
was Chairman of the Board from 1991 to 1995.[7]
It was reported that the campaign for the Board of Equalization
involved numerous attacks. Claude Parrish, Sherman's opponent,
said that an attorney general candidate declined to endorse
Sherman due to a post on the state's elected tax appeals board.
Sherman replied, calling it "one of the most outrageous hit pieces
in contemporary California political history."[8]
U.S. House of Representatives (1997–
Present)
Elections
In 1994, incumbent Democratic U.S. Congressman Anthony C.
Beilenson of California's 24th congressional district barely
survived the Republican Revolution, winning re-election by just
a two-point margin,[9] by far the worst election performance of
his career. In 1996, Beilenson decided to retire.
Sherman decided to run and won the 7-candidate Democratic primary with 54% of the vote.[9] In the general
election, he defeated Republican nominee Rich Sybert (also 1994 nominee) 49%–44%.[10]
In 1998, he won re-election with 57% of the vote.[11] After that, he has won re-election every two years with at
least 62%.[12]
2012
Redistricting following the 2010 census left Sherman and fellow Democratic U.S. Congressman Howard Berman in
the same district.[13][14] Brad Sherman represented more of the new congressional district, with about 60% of voters
California’s new 30th district coming from Congressman Sherman’s old district, and about 20 percent of voters
from Berman's.[15][16] On June 5, 2012 Brad Sherman faced Howard Berman in the primary for California’s new
30th Congressional district. Sherman received more votes than Berman by a margin of 42% to 32%.[17] However,
due to the new election system in California, which put the two candidates who received the most votes in the
primary against each other regardless of party, the two congressmen again faced each other in the general
election.[18] Neither candidate received an official endorsement from the state Democratic party.[19]
Berman was the establishment candidate. He was endorsed by over 20 congressmen, including party leaders Steny
Hoyer and Xavier Becerra. In addition, he was endorsed by sitting Governor Jerry Brown, sitting Los Angeles
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and both of the state's two U.S. Senators: Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein.[20] He
was also endorsed by ten Republican congressmen from California: David Dreier, Wally Herger, Dan Lungren,
Elton Gallegly, Buck McKeon, Ed Royce, Jerry Lewis, Ken Calvert, Mary Bono Mack, and Darrell Issa.[21] He was
also endorsed by two Republican U.S. Senators: John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC). He was also
endorsed by Independent U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman.[22][23]
Sherman was endorsed by Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, former President Bill Clinton, and former
Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis.[24]

Subcommitee on Asia. He is the Chairman Emeritus of the Subcommittee on International Terrorism,
Nonproliferation and Trade. He is also a senior member of the Financial Services Committee.[7]
Sherman has held over 160 Town Hall meetings since being elected to Congress.[26] In the Washingtonian's 2012
annoymous survey of congressional ides, Sherman was named the second meanest member of Congress, finishing
only behind Sheila Jackson Lee.[27]

Resolution, providing an additional $700 million for the acquisition of environmentally important lands in FY
‘98.[30]
Labor
Sherman’s voting record has most often earned him a 100% rating from the AFL-CIO, the Service Employees
International Union (SEIU), and the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees (AFSCME).
[31][32]
Sherman was an original co-sponsor of The Employee Free Choice Act when it was introduced at the start of 2007,
and again when it was re-introduced in 2009.[33]
Sherman introduced legislation, in 2008 and 2010, to eliminate so-called state "Right to Work" laws nationwide.,[34]
and he supports a single national standard that protects labor rights. Sherman has also opposed Free Trade deals
with South Korea, Colombia, and other countries, because he believes they are bad for American workers.[35][36]

Sherman joined several colleagues in introducing legislation, the
Valley-Wide Noise Relief Act, to allow the operator of Bob Hope Airport to
implement a mandatory nighttime curfew.[37]

Fiscal Policy
3 of 10 3/5/2017 6:10 PM

Congressman Sherman "led the House revolt" against the original $700 billion bailout plan, known as the Troubled
Asset Relief Program (TARP).[40] Sherman introduced the "Too Big to Fail, Too Big to Exist Act", with regard to
large financial entities.[41]
Financial crisis
During the debate over the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, (commonly referred to as "the bailout
of the U.S. financial system"), Sherman was an early and outspoken critic of the proposal, leading the House revolt
against the bailout bill, a move which made him "spectacularly unpopular with both the Republican and Democratic
leaderships, not to mention K Street".[42] Sherman argued that Bush and his advisors had created a panic
atmosphere in an effort to get lawmakers to rubber-stamp the bill.[43]
Social Security and health care
Sherman has said he is "opposed to creating a voucher system for Medicare". He wants to avoid "turn[ing] Social
Security into a welfare program", instead keeping it "for people who contribute to it".[44]
For his voting record and efforts in Congress, Sherman has consistently earned a 100% rating from the National
Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, and from the AARP (American Association of Retired
Persons).[32] Sherman supported the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Sherman helped secure funds to develop a new women and children's patient wing at El Proyecto del Barrio’s
Family Health Care Clinic in Winnetka.[45]
Housing
Sherman introduced the Preserving Equal Access to Mortgage Finance Programs Act (HR 1754), which raises the
conforming loan limit for FHA loans in high-cost areas such as Sherman's district.[46][47]
Sherman frequently holds seminars for Valley residents in his district to address issues of home purchasing, home
refinancing, and foreclosure avoidance.[48][49]
Civil liberties
Sherman's legislative record received a 100% rating from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in 2011, a
100% from the National Organization for Women (NOW) in 2007-2008, a 100% from the Human Rights Campaign
in 2009-2010, and a 98% rating from the NAACP in 2009-2010.[50]
Sherman co-sponsored the Due Process Guarantee Act,[51] which amends the Non-Detention Act of 1971 to
provide that a Congressional authorization for the use of military force does not authorize the indefinite detention -
without charge or trial - of U.S. citizens.
In 2011, Sherman voted against the re-authorization of the Patriot Act[52] because of concerns that it would infringe
on certain civil liberties, including the "library provision" that allows the FBI to acquire records about what books a
person checks out from the library.
Foreign relations
In August 2010, Sherman introduced legislation aimed at rescinding China's Most Favored Nation status as long as
there was not "a more level playing field between our two nations".[53] He said that "the U.S.-China trade
relationship is horrendously lopsided".[53]
Sherman has introduced or co-sponsored more than 20 bills in the 111th and 112th Congresses that he says, "enact
4 of 10 3/5/2017 6:10 PM

tougher sanctions to isolate Iran economically and diplomatically".[54] His efforts have included legislation designed
to close loopholes for U.S. companies with subsidiaries operating in Iran, and to curtail U.S. funding of international
organizations providing loans to Iran.[55]
Sherman has been a strong supporter and advocate of the U.S-Israel relationship, consistently supporting aid to
Israel.[56] In 2004, Brad Sherman first introduced the U.S.-Israel Energy Cooperation Act.[57] It provides grant
money to joint ventures between American and Israeli academics and private sector companies that conduct
research and develop energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies.
On July 9, 2014, Sherman appeared as a guest commentator on the Al-Jazeera America’s network. During his
appearance, Sherman went after the Qatar-based owners of Al-Jazeera, criticizing the owners for funding Hamas.
Sherman said, "Every one of those rockets [fired by Hamas into Israeli cities] is a war crime, almost every one. Of
course it's a war crime committed by Hamas. And of course the owners of this TV network help fund Hamas."
Sherman emphasized that Hamas often aims attacks at civilian targets.[58] The owners of Al-Jazeera that Sherman
mentioned is the government of Qatar.[59]
In December 2014, Sherman and Congressman Pete Roskam (R-IL) requested new sanctions on Qatar in a letter to
Secretary of Treasury Jack Lew. They also asked for a detailed accounting of public and private financing from
within Qatar for Hamas, Al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, and the al-Nusra Front.[60]
Sherman introduced legislation to exclusively allow Israel to be part of the visa waiver program, which would
permit nationals from Israel to enter the US as temporary visitors for tourism or business for up to 90 days without
obtaining a visa, without the conditions of reciprocity required for other nations. This led to criticism from some
quarters that Sherman is insufficiently concerned with the rights of American citizens, in contrast to those of Israeli
citizens.[61]
As a senior member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Sherman has focused on Congressional
recognition of the Armenian Genocide, as well as increasing funding to Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.[62][63][64]
Religion
Sherman and his wife, who are Jewish, have been members of Valley Beth Shalom - a conservative synagogue in
Encino, California - for many years.
In his role as a congressman, Sherman has appeared at events sponsored by virtually every religious denomination
practiced in America - including Orthodox Jewish,[65][66] Reform Jewish, Conservative Jewish, Reconstructionist
Jewish, Traditional Persian Jewish,[67] Sephardic Jewish, the Church of Scientology,[68][69] Muslim, Catholic,[70]
Roman Catholic, Coptic Christian, The Assyrian Church, Greek Orthodox, the Armenian Church,[71][72] Sikh,[73]
[74][75] Buddhism, Hindu, Russian Orthodox, the Hungarian reformed Orthodox Church, Episcopalian, Methodist,
Presbyterian, the Church of Christ, non-denominational Christian, and evangelical Christian.
Sherman expressed condolences to the Sikh community following the deadly shootings at a Sikh temple in August
2012.[76][77] After the September 11th terrorist attacks, Sherman joined with colleagues in introducing a resolution
to condemn bigotry and violence against Sikh-Americans.[78] Sherman has advocated on behalf of religious
minorities outside the United States, including Hindus of Pakistan and Christians and Jews in the Arab world.[79]
Sherman introduced the Religious Minorities in the Arab World Resolution, which calls for the protection of the
rights and freedoms of ethno-religious minorities, particularly in Egypt and Iraq.[80]
Internet policy
In 2011, Sherman co-sponsored SOPA.[81] Sherman’s 2012 opponent Howard Berman in California’s new 30th
5 of 10 3/5/2017 6:10 PM

congressional district was the original co-sponsor of the SOPA legislation.[82]
LGBT
Sherman is a strong supporter of LGBT rights, and an advocate of equality. He earned a 100% rating from The
Human Rights Campaign,[83] the largest LGBT advocacy group in the country.
Sherman is a member of the LGBT Equality Caucus,[84] which serves to promote lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender equality. Sherman supports same-sex marriage,[85] and supported the overturning of the military’s
“Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Policy.[86]”
Sherman was an original co-sponsor of Congressman Jared Polis's Student Non-Discrimination Act.[87] Sherman is
also a co-sponsor of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.[88] In 2009, Sherman voted for the Matthew
Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act,[89] which imposes additional federal penalties for crimes
motivated by hatred on the basis of race, religion, or actual or perceived sexual orientation.
Abortion
Sherman is pro-choice. He has earned a 100% rating from NARAL and Planned Parenthood.[90][91]
Gun control
Sherman has worked to expand the definition of armor-piercing ammunition in US law. He was a sponsor of the
Protect Law Enforcement Armor (PLEA) Act.[92] Sherman has received a 100% rating from The Brady Campaign
to Prevent Gun Violence.[31]
International trade
Sherman has opposed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Central American Free Trade
Agreement (CAFTA), arguing that the agreements cost American jobs, fail to protect foreign workers, harm the
environment, and cost U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars.[93] Sherman has also opposed a Free Trade Agreement with
South Korea, arguing that a proposed U.S. trade agreement could undermine U.S. security and economic interests
by benefiting China and North Korea.[94]
Education
Sherman has earned a 100% rating from the California Teachers Association, the National Education
Association,[95] and the American Federation of Teachers.[96]

Controversies
On January 9, 2017 while being interviewed on CNN's Newsroom, Sherman claimed that Moscow helped Donald
6 of 10 3/5/2017 6:10 PM

Trump win the Electoral College. Sherman said, "The fact is that in the campaign Trump said things that would
have hurt him just a little bit with American voters, but helped him with the Electoral College votes that are
controlled in Moscow. And Moscow returned the favor. The fact that — I would assume they didn’t do a secret
meeting or secret found call doesn’t change that."[97]
Personal life
On December 3, 2006, Sherman married Lisa Nicola Kaplan, a foreign affairs officer for the U.S. State
Department.[98] The couple’s first child, Molly Hannah Sherman, was born on January 14, 2009.[99] Their second
child, Naomi Claire Sherman, was born on February 6, 2010.[100] Their third child, Lucy Rayna Sherman, was born
on August 8, 2011.[101]
