About the surrogates:
Rep. Wasserman Schultz (for Clinton) has been recognized by numerous publications for her work in Congress. Campaigns and Elections Magazine named her one of “Five Women to Watch in Congress.” Congressional Quarterly called her “a rising star in House Democratic ranks.” For two consecutive years, The Forward Newspaper named her as one of the “Forward Fifty” (fifty most influential members of the Jewish Community). Florida International Magazine named her one of the 100 most influential Floridians. South Florida Business Journal named her one of the “Top 20 Business Leaders in South Florida.” Roll Call newspaper identified her as one of six members of the House of Representatives worth watching. Politico newspaper identified her as one of “Six Women in the House Worth Watching.”
Rep. Schiff (for Obama) has focused on bolstering national security, strengthening our communities, and introducing a “Kids First” agenda of initiatives to improve education, safety, and health care for our kids. Rep. Schiff has been a leader on national security efforts and has pushed for a broader strategy that emphasizes diplomacy, intelligence reform, and efforts to improve our nation’s ability to stabilize countries to prevent future failed states from becoming havens for terrorists. He has pressed for the adoption of the bipartisan 9/11 Commission recommendations, cosponsoring a measure that implements the recommendations, which passed the House this year.
