Howard is Tenacious. He is smart. He is effective...that's why I am with Howard.

Honorable Dianne Feinstein • Senator • California

My wife Betsy and I are proud to endorse your candidacy for the newly created 30th Congressional District in the southern and western San Fernando Valley. The stakes in the upcoming election are incredibly high. We must reclaim our government from those who would deliver the great wealth of our nation to the privileged few by reaffirming our commitment to building a society and economy that offers the opportunity to achieve and prosper to all who are willing to work hard and sacrifice. Returning the House of Representatives to the moderates and progressives is the key to this important election.

A Note from Howard

howard_berman_profile

Thirty years ago, when Janis and I first moved to the Valley, we knew it would be the perfect place to raise our family.

Some of our fondest memories are of the years that Brinley, our oldest daughter, went to Dixie Canyon Elementary School and when Lindsey, our youngest, played AYSO soccer. A perfect afternoon was a movie at the original Galleria followed by yogurt at the Big Chill on Ventura Blvd.

Now, at the end of each week, I look forward to coming home to Valley Village, going for a swim on Saturday or Sunday at the pool at either LA Valley College or Van Nuys Sherman Oaks Park, and then catching a movie or meeting up with friends.

We also really enjoy taking the grandkids to play miniature golf at Sherman Oaks Castle Park on Sepulveda. Sometimes they even talk me into taking them to Chuck E Cheese in Northridge.

I’m grateful and honored beyond words to represent the San Fernando Valley in the U.S. House of Representatives. I’ve been extremely fortunate to be able to focus on the needs and problems of my congressional district and the nation instead of spending countless hours raising money and campaigning for reelection.

But this year is different.

Congressional districts have been redrawn and I’m preparing for a challenging race.

This website is part of my effort to share my work and my record with both my old friends and the many new friends I look forward to making in the coming months.

I hope you’ll visit it often.

Howard On The Issues

  • Issues - Jobs
    Jobs and the Economy

    Getting our economy moving again has been one of Howard’s top priorities in Congress. He knows that job growth is largest in new companies, and that the biggest problem faced by today’s small businesses is fewer customers with less money to spend.

    Veterans

    Our nation’s veterans deserve the benefits and care they’ve earned through their service, and Howard has worked diligently to see they get them.

    Intellectual Property Rights

    Howard believes that robust protection of intellectual property and prevention of copyright theft protects local investments and creates jobs. The Chamber of Commerce has noted that America’s IP-intensive industries employ more than 19 million workers–at all educational and skill levels. From 2000 to 2007, the annual salary of all workers in IP-intensive industries averaged about 60% more than for similar workers in non-IP-intensive industries.
