Jane Harman

We’re taking a break from posting the 2010 senators to posting someone recently in the news.  California’s 36th district congresswoman Jane Harman has served 8 terms, non-consecutively.  She was in office from 1993-1999 and then re-elected in 2000 and has been there since.  The, reportedly 2nd richest member of congress, has also had her share of news.

It was recently reported that Rep. Harman was a supporter of the previous administration’s “warrentless wiretaps” as part of the Patriot Act.  She was a very vocal supporter until she was caught, in one of those wiretaps, discussing various issues with a foreign government.

This is an example of why elected officials should not be reelected.  They have difficult time keeping noses clean.  It’s a bipartisan problem.  We’re not singling her out because she’s a democrat.  We’d do the same if she was a hypocritical republican.

If her 8 terms weren’t enough to convince people to vote for her challenger (of either party), then maybe her recent check on her convictions will be.
