Washington, D.C. – Sunday, October 29, marks the 12th anniversary of the Metro's Orange Line. The Orange Line, an 18-mile bus rapid transit system that runs through the San Fernando Valley from Chatsworth to North Hollywood, has helped residents of the Valley connect to other essential public transportation systems and has helped reduce traffic on the 101 Freeway.
"I am very pleased with the success of the Metro Orange Line which has served commuters in the Valley for over ten years," said Congressman Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks).

Sherman Oaks, CA – On the second anniversary of the Aliso Canyon gas leak, Congressman Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks) condemned the decision of the Trump Administration to withdrawal natural gas storage safety regulations. He sent a letter demanding that the regulations be restored and enforced.
Sherman, who lives in Porter Ranch, met face-to-face with then-President Barack Obama and received a commitment that federal natural gas storage safety regulations would be issued. That commitment was honored.
Sherman Oaks, CA – Following the release of an independent health study by Dr. Jeffrey Nordella, which concluded that Porter Ranch residents have uranium, lithium, and other chemicals in their bodies, Congressman Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks) is calling for a comprehensive, independent, long-term health study on the impact of toxin exposures from the Aliso Canyon well blowout.
Background: Congressman Brad Sherman's home was as close as any residence to the Aliso Canyon gas leak.

Washington, D.C. – On July 12, Congressman Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks) filed Articles of Impeachment against Donald J. Trump for High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Sherman argued that Trump committed Obstruction of Justice by pressuring FBI Director James Comey to abandon the investigation of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, and again by seeking to thwart the Russia Investigation.
On January 3, 2017, I once again swore to protect and defend the Constitution. Our Constitution calls for the impeachment of a President who has committed High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Obstruction of Justice is a felony under the United States Criminal Code. See § 1512 (b)(3) of the U.S. Criminal Code. It applies when anyone uses threats to hinder a federal criminal investigation. While this section is commonly applied to witness intimidation, the Courts have consistently ruled that it is also applicable when one threatens an FBI agent or other law enforcement official.
If Trump is impeached, it will not be for the initial crime, but for the cover-up.
