Schiff’s recent focus aligns with his long-standing commitment as a legislator. He has represented California’s 30th District since replacing James E. Rogan in Congress in 2001 after previously serving in the California Senate from 1996 to 2000. Born in Framingham, Massachusetts in 1960 and currently residing in Burbank at age 62, Schiff holds degrees from Stanford University (BA) and Harvard University (JD).
