On this edition of Your Call, we'll speak with US Senate hopeful Congressman Adam Schiff.
Rep. Adam Schiff, who has served in Congress since 2001, is nationally known for chairing the House Intelligence Committee during the impeachment hearing of Donald Trump and his work on the January 6 committee. Unlike his opponents Reps. Barbara Lee and Katie Porter, Schiff opposes a ceasefire in Gaza, where the death toll just surpassed 30,000. If elected Senator, he says he'll work to codify abortion rights, end the electoral college, eliminate the filibuster, and expand the Supreme Court.
The top two vote getters on March 6 will be on the November ballot. What questions do you have for Congressman Adam Schiff? Give us a call at 866.798.8255 or email yourcall@kalw.org.
