Congressman Brad Sherman, who represents California’s 32nd district in the U.S. Congress, addressed several recent incidents and personal decisions in a series of tweets posted between December 12 and December 14, 2025.
On December 12, Sherman commented on his absence from a major political event, stating, “Why I’m not at the White House Christmas Party right now.”
Two days later, on December 14, Sherman responded to reports of violence at Brown University. He wrote, “Another heinous gun violence attack at @BrownUniversity. Students should be focused on studying for finals, and not worried about an active shooter on campus. Sending my deep condolences to the victims and their families.”
Later that same day, he expressed condolences following an attack in Australia during Hanukkah celebrations: “Australia. Our hearts and prayers are with the victims and their families. This attack on peaceful people celebrating the Hanukkah season was the largest terrorist attack against Jews since #October7, 2023.”
Sherman has been a member of Congress since 1997 after succeeding Anthony Beilenson as representative for California’s 32nd district. Born in Los Angeles in 1954 and currently residing in Sherman Oaks, he holds degrees from UCLA (BA) and Harvard University (JD).
