Biography

Email editor@ballotpedia.org to notify us of updates to this biography.

In 1981, Litchman earned his B.A. in history from the University of California at Berkeley.[2]

Campaign themes

2014

Litchman's campaign website listed the following issues:[3]

  • Ban Puppy Mills: "Introduce and secure passage of an enforceable federal ban on all commercial puppy mills and unlicensed back yard breeders."
  • Break up the LAUSD: "Introduce and secure passage of legislation that would make school districts, with more than 100,000 students, ineligible for federal aid. The result would be smaller, local school districts that reflect local, community values. Smaller local districts that are more accountable, responsive and manageable will be easier to access by parents, students, teachers and taxpayers."
  • Domestic Violence: "Establish a National Registry for repeat domestic violence offenders. Upon a second conviction for a violent offense against a spouse or domestic partner, child or the elderly, the offender would be required to register with the national database and update his or her current residence address when moving. This database would be easily and anonymously accessible via the internet."
  • Equal Pay: "Nationwide women make 77 cents on the dollar compared to men and in California, they make 84 cents, but in Congressman Brad Sherman’s office, women make only 70 cents on the dollar compared to men. "
  • Veterans Housing: "300 unit housing complex for Veterans and their families located on Victory Blvd. adjacent to the National Guard Armory on the northern border of the Sepulveda Basin."
