A young advocate for climate action and former White House official who has never held political office is looking to unseat a 28-year congressional veteran in California’s 32nd District.
Jake Levine, who served as a policy analyst in the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change under President Barack Obama and advocated for solutions to climate change on the White House National Security Council under President Joe Biden, is facing off against U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman, who is seeking his 16th term. District 32 includes parts of the San Fernando Valley, West Los Angeles and the area directly north of Beverly Hills.
