Beacon Media has learned that Rep. Adam Schiff is strongly considering a run for retiring Senator Barbara Boxer’s seat: In a statement provided by Patrick Boland, Schiff’s public information officer, Schiff says:
“Since Senator Boxer announced her retirement, I have been encouraged by many Californians to run for her seat in 2016. As the opportunity to run for a California senate seat comes around very seldom and I would relish the chance to serve the entire state, I am giving the matter serious consideration.
“Last week, I was named to the top Democratic position on the intelligence committee, and I am deeply grateful for the confidence that my House colleagues have placed in me. The demands and responsibilities of this new position are considerable, and I hope to reach a decision in the near future after consulting with my family, friends and constituents.”
