Congressman Brad Sherman, who has represented California’s 32nd district in the U.S. Congress since 1997, recently addressed a range of political and economic issues through his social media posts.

On September 4, 2025, Sherman announced the reintroduction of legislation aimed at labor rights. In a post he stated, “‘Right-to-work’ means the right to be underpaid and overworked. That’s why today, @SenWarren and I reintroduced the Nationwide Right to Unionize Act to scrap these anti-worker laws across the country. Learn more:”.

Later that day, Sherman commented on a political figure’s suitability for office. On September 4, 2025, he wrote, “#RFKjr should resign. He shouldn’t have been nominated and confirmed in the first place.”

The following day, Sherman addressed employment statistics related to former President Donald Trump’s administration. On September 5, 2025, he posted: “When #DonaldTrump became president, there were 6.8 million Americans who were unemployed. As of the end of August, there were 7.4 million Americans unemployed, seeking work, and unable to find it. That’s 600,000 more Americans without jobs, an 8% increase.”

Sherman has served as a congressional representative since replacing Anthony Beilenson in 1997 and is known for his focus on labor rights and economic policy issues. Born in Los Angeles in 1954 and currently residing in Sherman Oaks at age 68, Sherman holds degrees from UCLA (BA) and Harvard University (JD).
